In 2011, Vital Partnerships Limited created a subsidiary trading company - Vital Partnerships Professional Services Ltd (VPPS),
because the charity was limited in its ability to meet ELLI's trading opportunities.VPPS had been trading almost exclusively in the
education sector. In 2015, with a requirement to update its technical platform, the charity sold 51% of its shares in VPPS to its
technical partner, The People's Cooperative Ltd (TPCL). Disappointing trading results and lack of marketing endeavour led to both
parties selling their shares to Pathways to Learning Ltd (P2L), which now holds the comprehensive license agreement to trade ELLI,
protects its intellectual property and governs the operation of VPPS in all markets. Since 2015, P2L had been trading ELLI most
particularly in the business and government market sectors.
