Exit Planning Options: Internal Sale, External Sale, Private Equity – Is an ESOP Right For You? An ESOP, or Employee Stock Ownership Plan, is one of many different ways to sell your business. This program will explore these options and educate you on creating an exit strategy for business owners looking to both sell their business and provide a tremendous benefit to their employees. We’ll discuss how an ESOP can allow you to sell all or a portion of your company at fair market value, indefinitely defer all capital gains taxes, leave behind a completely tax-exempt company to the employee owners, retain the ability to capitalize on the future growth of the business post sale, and improve employee retention, productivity, profitability, recruitment, and culture. Presenters:
- Rick Jaye, AIF, CRC, Managing Director, Business Transition Advisors
- Kevin Perlberg, CFP, Managing Partner, Blackhawk Capital Partners
- Donald (Trace) Tendick III, MBA, CFP, Partner, Blackhawk Capital Partners
