An entrepreneur who has built a venture into a successful business eventually faces a final challenge:

How do I cash out when I want to step away from the day-to-day grind?

How do I transfer the business to the next generation in a tax-efficient way? How can I incentivize my top employees to stay for the long term, so my business lives on after me?

There is a transaction, legal and blessed by the U.S. government, that can solve most of these problems. It's called an Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
