What is an ESOP Feasibility Study?
GBQ’s ESOP feasibility studies are designed to provide all of the information needed to determine whether a sale to an ESOP will fit the objectives of all stakeholders. Utilizing our experience from participating in hundreds of ESOP transactions, our comprehensive ESOP feasibility studies provide a “blueprint” for what a transaction will look like, including each of the following components:
Comprehensive valuation analysis of the company
Transaction financing alternatives
Post-transaction cash flow analysis
Illustration of selling shareholder proceeds
Illustration of benefit levels to management and employees
Evaluation of synthetic equity plans (warrants, stock appreciation rights, etc.)
