With extensive knowledge and an academic background in employee ownership, Chris offers practical insight into the structure, goals, and considerations associated with an EOT. The conversation highlights the importance of ESOP Planning, including evaluating the Benefits of an ESOP and the Advantages of an ESOP alongside other ownership-transition strategies.
