A sale to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a rarely used Exit Path, but business owners have begun taking interest in the possibilities they provide.
An ESOP can be many things, but in its simplest form, it’s a qualified retirement plan that must invest primarily in the stock of a business owner’s company. When pursuing an ESOP as an Exit Plan, business owners sell their stock in their businesses to the ESOP.
