What may not be very clear is the real (financial and non-financial) value for your employees and for you as the owner. Attendees will examine why an ESOP is a severely underutilized strategy for an owner's exit strategy, from three perspectives: (A) After-tax proceeds to seller(s); (B) the collaborative nature of ESOP transaction vs. a private sale; (C) Continued legacy of the company for the (great) benefit of the employees.
