Goal Assessment
Once stakeholders understand the pros and cons of employee ownership, we seek to appreciate the financial drivers, legacy considerations, and risk tolerances of all parties. This can help clarify the potential fit of an ESOP strategy.
Financial Analysis
Our ESOP feasibility studies are bespoke, objective, and comprehensive. All analysis is performed in-house in order to deliver consistent insights on fair market valuation, optimal structures, estate planning considerations, and transaction alternatives.
Deal Structuring
Once stakeholders understand the viability and costs of a potential ESOP strategy, we start the painstaking process of building a transaction. Following an extensive due diligence process, our advisors finalize a deal's structure and coordinate activities with all relevant parties.
Capital Raise
It takes unique expertise and an extensive network to secure optimal ESOP financing. We draft a best-in-class confidential information memorandum (CIM) and run a competitive process with commercial lenders nationwide to obtain comprehensive loan offers and negotiate favorable terms.
Negotiation
An ESOP transaction isn't complete until a sponsor and a trustee agree on a price and plan terms. Our experts lead all negotiations on a company's behalf and oversee the finalization of transaction documents and credit agreements.
