Add mentionThis episode reviews the importance of third-party administration for an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Scott Freund brings extensive expertise in the nuances of benefit testing and the IRS limitations that affect ESOP plan design. He discusses Internal Revenue Code Section 404, which generally allows contributions to an ESOP of up to 25% of payroll, as well as Section 409(p), which applies to S corporation ESOPs and tests for disqualified persons.
Understanding these requirements is an essential part of ESOP Planning, both for companies considering an ESOP and for those managing an existing plan. The conversation highlights the Benefits of an ESOP and the Advantages of an ESOP while explaining how ESOP Advisory and professional ESOP Advisory Services can help companies remain compliant, manage plan responsibilities, and support long-term employee ownership.
