Menke Managing Director Phillip DeDominicis recently participated in a conversation with Chris Cooper, Program Coordinator of the Ohio Employee Ownership Center (OEOC) at Kent State University, to discuss the state of the ESOP industry in the COVID economy.
In this discussion, Phil draws on his 30 years of investment banking experience to assess the realities of selling a business at this unique moment, and the benefits to owners of selling to an ESOP, even if you are not currently preparing to exit the business.
Topics covered include:
- Trying to sell to an external buyer vs. selling internally to an ESOP
- Facts about the M&A market in a down economy.
- Partial ESOP transactions vs. 100% ESOP transactions
- How an ESOP can provide security to business owners who intend to sell their business outright.
