BrochureAn employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) is a tax-advantaged way to sell a business to the employees of a company. An ESOP allows the employees of a company to be the beneficial (not legal) owners of a company’s equity.
Featured in NAPE Magazine, Weaver’s Brian Reed, Partner, Financial Advisory Services, shares his insight on why companies may want to adjust the way quality of earnings are assessed in the oil and gas industry post-COVID.
An ESOP is a qualified retirement plan sponsored by a company, but unlike a 401K, an ESOP must invest primarily in the stock of the company sponsor and an ESOP may borrow money to finance the purchase of company stock.
Weaver brings a reliable, institutional-level approach to ESOP assurance services, fairness opinions, annual valuations and valuation reviews.
The recent declines in the financial markets and in the overall economy present a dramatic shift from a period of historically high valuations to what could potentially be, at least temporarily, historical lows.
