Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

A specialized tax-qualified plan where monies can be contributed in stocks or cash to the ESOP on a tax deductible basis, thereby increasing working capital and cash flow.

Key Benefits of a Employee Stock Ownership Plan:

  • Facilitate the smooth succession of the company to the management team.
  • Allows for the sale of privately held stock tax-deferred or tax-free while the business owner keeps control of the company.
  • Gives your employees equity in the company, making them more loyal, productive, and profitable.
  • Deduct both principal and interest on bank debt.
  • Make your stock dividends deductible.


Who Can Establish:

  • Public or Private Corporations

 

ESOP Candidates:

  • A private corporation owner wanting to sell some of his stock on a tax free basis and still maintain control of the company.
  • A company wanting to buy out minority shareholders on a tax deductible basis for the corporation and tax free for the selling shareholders.
  • A company wanting to make acquisitions on a tax deductible basis.
