WHAT WE DO

We help business owners take their companies, careers and lives to the next level by using the extraordinary tools of an ESOP and ownership culture.

EXIT & SUCCESSION PLANNING

Use an ESOP to sell all or part of your ownership shares and get cash, tax-deferred or tax free, without giving up control. Hands down the best way to sell a business and create a succession plan on your own terms.

HIGH-ENGAGEMENT OWNERSHIP CULTURE DEVELOPMENT

We implement best practices in leadership development, high-engagement planning and operations, and ownership culture to create next-generation, worker-owned enterprises that outperform conventional companies in every way, including profitability, growth and employee retention.

BRIDGE CAPITAL & BUSINESS ACCELERATOR

Through the Infinity Point CDFI we provide no-hassle financial capital and business accelerator services to help business owners transform privately-held companies into high-performing worker-owned enterprises.

As a CFO, Entrepreneur and Financial Strategist, in 2000 Bimmy oversaw the transformation of a highly-successful, multi-disciplinary U.S. engineering firm from a privately held business into an even more successful worker-owned enterprise.

He witnessed first-hand how ownership culture drove employee engagement, efficiency, productivity and value to unforeseen levels. Ever since, Bimmy has been a leading business advocate for worker ownership. Bimmy believes worker-owned companies will spawn the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs and business leaders.

STRATEGIC PARTNERS

Infinity Point’s strategic partners share our mission of building the ownership economy.

PARTNERS

In the city of Edmonton, Alberta, Sparrow is pioneering a groundbreaking approach to community economic development through their Open Equity Framework, a model inspired by U.S. ESOPs and the visionary work of their creator, Louis Kelso. Through Open Equity, diverse stakeholders – including investors, entrepreneurs, employees, and commercial and residential tenants – share an equity-ownership stake in a broad portfolio of local business and real estate assets, in proportion to the value each contributes to those assets. Open Equity thus aligns the interests of all stakeholders in optimizing local asset values and returns, enables equitable participation in economic growth, and incentivizes diverse stakeholders to coordinate in bringing undeveloped capital to life. In tandem with the Open Equity Framework, Sparrow is building out a shared infrastructure of co-work spaces, administrative, financial, and data-management services, and other resources to support the successful development of entrepreneurial leaders in the Edmonton community. Sparrow also organizes a wide range of community events and programs to support vibrant stakeholder engagement.
