National Center for Employee Ownership
An NCEO toolkit on planning for the ESOP repurchase obligation, the company’s responsibility to provide cash when participants cash out shares.
This NCEO member-only toolkit is for companies moving from feasibility into transaction or commercial-financing planning. It covers banks, seller financing, non-bank lenders, finance advisors, lender selection, and ESOP-specific financing issues, and includes a directory of lenders with ESOP experience.
NCEO describes the toolkit as a living resource, so its contents and directory can change. It can orient a founder, CFO, board, or advisor to the financing landscape, but the directory is not a substitute for lender diligence or transaction-specific financial and legal advice.
