Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
- One potentially viable business exit strategy is to sell your business
to employees through an ESOP - employee stock ownership plan. To avoid
a heavy expenditure of time, money and effort before getting encouraging
signals from the lender, we think it is prudent to establish a preliminary
appraisal figure as part of an overall strategic exit plan, long before
you actually face the ESOP process.
Executive Compensation
- No matter how educated your judgment is, you often need a more scientific
process than good common sense to measure the relationship between
compensation and employee value. Both qualitative and quantitative
factors are used by Business Valuation Consultants to determine fair
and reasonable compensation. We use sophisticated market-based competitive
data in addition to interpolated figures reflecting anticipated appreciation
of business value, projected price, product or industry volatility
and compensation alternatives.
Business Plans
- A critical step in the business valuation process also is critical
to your business plan: projecting your future earnings. These projections
are derived from an educated analysis of market, economic, industry
and financial indicators that directly will influence your business' future
value potential.
- Your business plan ideally will reflect strategies for making best
use of your valuation conclusions.
