Teamshares Inc. TMS

TMS Company Overview

Teamshares Inc. is a privately held financial technology and employee ownership company focused on acquiring and operating small businesses in the United States while transitioning those businesses toward employee ownership structures. The company operates at the intersection of small-business succession planning, fintech, and workforce ownership. Its core model involves identifying owner-operated businesses whose founders are approaching retirement, acquiring controlling stakes in those businesses, and gradually transferring equity ownership to employees over time.

The company’s primary revenue drivers are tied to the operating performance of its acquired businesses, management and operational support services, and financial products designed for small business ecosystems. Teamshares has positioned itself as a long-term owner rather than a traditional private equity investor, emphasizing decentralized management and employee equity participation. Founded in 2019 by Michael Brown, Teamshares emerged in response to the large number of aging small-business owners in the United States lacking succession plans. Public reporting and company disclosures consistently describe its mission as expanding employee ownership while preserving independently operated local businesses.
