Program Overview

This presentation examines how Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) can be a very tax-advantaged method of transferring a closely held business from one generation to the next or to key management. As your clients are seeking advice regarding their exit strategy, you'll discover how ESOPs can enhance your practice as well. ESOPs offer many advantages, tax and otherwise, to the selling shareholder, the sponsoring company, and the employees including immediate liquidity (whole or part), no third party buyers, corporate tax deductions, and capital gains tax deferrals. With the largest transfer of wealth in U.S. history occurring over the next 10-15 years, you owe it to your clients who are concerned about selling their business or about succession planning to discuss an ESOP as a potential business transfer solution.

Attendees will learn:

  • What an ESOP is and how it works
  • How to leverage the three unique tax advantages afforded only to ESOPs
  • To recognize a potential ESOP candidate
  • How the mandatory repurchase liability can be effectively pre-financed with COLI or mutual funds
  • How an ESOP can complete the sellers "Legacy Full Circle"
  • What the numerous high-premium insurance sales and mandatory asset management sales opportunities
