Pedro Pestana, founder of the Galician technology company Marosa, has distributed four million euros among his 120 employees after selling the company to the Dutch multinational Wolters Kluwer for 112 million euros. The decision was made to recognize the contributions of all workers, including recent hires, and ensure everyone received a guaranteed minimum amount. Pestana emphasized that Marosa was built through collective effort and wanted to share the financial success with the team. The company started modestly in the UK before growing into a firm specializing in automating tax declarations and electronic invoicing for international businesses. Pestana hopes this gesture sets an example for other business owners considering selling their companies.
