When we are appointed as an ESOP Transactional Trustee, we are responsible for making fiduciary decisions that are in the best interest of plan participants. If the ESOP is just being formed, we acquire the stock of that company from its owners. If the ESOP is being terminated or sold, we ensure that fair market prices are upheld.
During the critical period of an ESOP transaction, you can rely on us for the trustworthy and transparent support your company deserves.
As an ongoing ESOP trustee, we manage the annual work of administering an ESOP. This includes monitoring performance, valuing shares, overseeing stock allocations to participants, and reviewing financial statements. Our role is to manage the plan on behalf of the employees, ensuring share prices are fair market value and that all regulations are followed.
Every ESOP requires ongoing administrative management. We provide this service to hundreds of companies from diverse industries, all across the nation.
When we provide consulting on exit opportunities for business owners, we determine all the reasonable options and help the owner and/or leadership team weigh every pro and con. Ideally, the business exit strategy will benefit all parties involved - including the owner and family, the employees, the successor, and the business itself.
Hiring an experienced ESOP exit strategy consultant is crucial for guiding businesses through complex employee stock ownership plan transitions, ensuring seamless exits, and maximizing shareholder value.
