This webinar featured Phil DeDominicis from Menke. Menke helped draft the legislation for ESOPs and has helped launch over 3,000 plans. Phil provided a broad overview of Employee Stock Ownership Plans or "ESOPs."
Topics included: using ESOPs as a business succession tool, how ESOPs are structured and financed, typical scenarios where they are used, who runs and controls an ESOP-owned business, how ESOP shares are valued compared to other sale options, and finally how employees benefit personally and become more productive.
I much better understand how the employees get paid when they leave the company. Best explanation of how these work in my 9 years of CFP!

It was great learning more about ESOPs and that they would be appropriate for many companies after they reach the 10+ employee $1M revenue mark.

The presenter had very effective and easy-to-follow notes, which helped considerably.

Amazingly clear and thorough presentation given time available to the presenter.

Another head spinning seminar- I rarely see ESOP's anymore but still useful to have some knowledge of how they work- Excellent idea to choose this topic!
- Edward D.
I do have a better understanding of functionality of ESOP's for those rare moments I deal with a business that would benefit from that transaction and also to redirect client interest if they do not fit the profile.
