About
Since graduating U of Chicago B-School in ‘81, I founded and operated over 25 businesses. I sold many of them successfully including an IPO. One of the most important things I learned was how to maximize proceeds when selling a company. For many companies, the best way for an owner to monetize their life's work is via ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). With an ESOP, owners sell a part of their company to employees (employees don't pay anything), company taxes go to zero, owners get liquid, can defer or avoid taxes too. Owners maintain control of the business.
