Employee ownership can be a powerful option for construction company owners who want a thoughtful transition plan, a fair market buyer, and a way to reward and retain the people who helped build the business. This Lunch & Learn introduces Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) in plain language, with a construction-focused lens.

This session is intended for construction company leaders who are exploring whether an ESOP may be a good fit, including CFOs, CEOs, COOs, and owners considering an ESOP for their employees. We’ll focus on common early-stage questions, the strategic benefits that make ESOPs unique, and practical considerations that help determine whether an ESOP is viable for a given company.
