A remote-first company, Teamshares buys small businesses from retiring owners with the goal of retaining employees and keeping each business’s legacy, values, and work culture intact. Past flexible hiring at Teamshares has been for full-time roles with 100% remote flexibility and freelance flexibility in marketing, accounting & finance, entertainment & media, graphic design, and internet & ecommerce, among other career areas. The company strives to offer a work culture that “checks egos at the door,” where time off is encouraged, and where employees can truly unplug at the end of the day. In support of career-life balance, the company offers 20 vacation days and more than 20 paid holidays a year, along with other benefits for eligible staff, like healthcare coverage and paid parental leave.

Teamshares is on a mission to be the buyer of choice in scenarios where businesses are available for sale due to retiring leadership. The company’s employees work from locations across the United States, offering “cross-functional expertise” in professional areas like acquisitions, employee ownership, accounting, education, and other specialties. The venture-backed company typically works with U.S.-based organizations that have been in business for at least 15 years, where there are only one or two retiring owners, and with discretionary earnings of more than $400,000, among several other criteria. Teamshares is committed to helping small businesses “become employee-owned through education, good governance, and digital products.”
