What is an ESOP?

An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a retirement plan that allows employees to acquire an ownership stake in the company through employer contributions of stock or cash. ESOPs are a powerful succession planning strategy because it allows a gradual transition, often in a tax-advantaged way, while preserving the company’s legacy and rewarding employees who help drive its long-term success.
