We are the Nation’s leading affiliation of ESOP professionals. Here you will learn about our organization, the things we do, and how our members assist the sellers of private companies. As our name implies, our primary focus is on Employee Stock Ownership Plans. For a qualified business, the ESOP can be an outstanding buyer, providing remarkable benefits to the seller, the company and its employees.

But ESOPs can be complicated. In fact, the complexity of the ESOP transaction is the primary reason so few business sellers choose it as a path to retirement. Therefore, one of the main objectives of this site is to demystify the ESOP as a viable, and often very favorable method of selling your company.

When building this site we chose to forego the flash and pomp so prevalent throughout the Internet today. Instead, we intend to provide a no-nonsense presentation about ESOPs as an alternative buyer for your private company stock.

If you are interested in selling your company to an outside buyer (that is a non-ESOP buyer), you may want to visit www.sell-the-goose.com for a step-by-step guide to selling a private company.
