Balancing Debt Burden and Deal Structure for Company Stability

This podcast is all about designing your ESOP so the company can be successful and avoid any potential pitfalls. Through the episode, we get to celebrate the movie: “Titanic” (Spoiler alert - the ship sinks at the end). One of the aspects of ESOP design is understanding the ESOP process and the importance of cash flow and balancing leverage for the company with the respective tax benefits. As a whole, the ESOP industry often has diverse opinions on what creates a sustainable ESOP deal. This is partly due to the myriad of conflicts of interest often found in deal teams. The goal of this episode is to help you ask the right questions and ensure your company has the correct ESOP design.
