The ESOP Playbook by Jared Hanley

This book is largely written in a Frequently Asked Question and Answer format augmented by the historical context for Employee Stock Ownership Plan law, basic corporate finance mathematics used in ESOPs and also has a section of “plays” i.e. common business scenarios with text and illustrations showing how the ESOP structure can elegantly address the desired outcome of these various problems requiring a solution other than selling the company to outside buyers.
