Alternative Financing Sources in ESOP Transactions

There are various alternative financing sources for transactions involving ESOP-owned companies. Transactions can be related to initial ESOP transactions, partial-to-full ESOP transactions, growth initiatives/acquisitions, or for a myriad of other purposes. The type of alternative capital chosen depends on many things including the amount of capital needed, the company’s cash flow/collateral coverage, strategic objectives, and uses of the capital. There are also certain considerations for key stakeholders before seeking these alternatives.
