Does an ESOP make sense compared to individuals separately owning shares?”
NP Consulting is a tight-knit, team-oriented professional services firm that’s about to go through some changes. Though the company has a wide range of owners and potential owners, the two primary players are getting ready for retirement. Before they go, they want to ensure a bright future for their team and company by transferring ownership of NP Consulting to their employees—who they consider to be family. As part of their overarching succession plan, they are also exploring options to buy out some of the majority owners.
