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.
