Suggest questionBret Keisling is joined by Jeff Buettner of ButcherJoseph & Co [www.butcherjoseph.com], who discusses challenges faced by mature ESOPs that go beyond repurchase obligations to funding organic and inorganic growth, achieving company goals, and assuring sustainability. ButcherJoseph advises both the ESOP sell and trustee sides, which gives them valuable insights that lead to successful transactions and ongoing relationships. Jeff takes us through the lifecycle of an ESOP and discusses when and how expert advisors can be used. Often, focus on the mature ESOP translates to "how do we finance a repurchase obligation." Jeff goes beyond with an overview of various strategies including, changes to corporate structure, and even the ESOP partnering with minority owners, be it the management team or private equity. Further show notes, and all of our past episodes, are available on our website at
