Selling to an ESOP

A comprehensive guide for owners, managers, and advisors of closely held companies considering setting up an ESOP in order to buy part or all of the stock of the owner(s).

Pass It On: The Entrepreneur's Succession Playbook

When you build an airplane, for example, you often construct many of the components before final assembly. The same is true with the different components of an arch.

However, the unique aspect of an arch was that we continually build it from two sides. For a succession planning model to work, we needed commitment from the owner and the protégé. It was imperative that both sides complete their assignments with the ultimate goal of the finding—and resolving—the key issues that were represented by the various blocks.

The most important issue would be closure and was represented by the Keystone, which was the uppermost block placed in the model and held it together. The scaffolding could only be removed when the Keystone was permanently secured.
