Only about 20% of businesses listed for sale ever sell. And 85% of business owners have no transition plan at all.

In our latest blog, Vincent Centofanti, Director at Brown Edwards, explains why an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) deserves a place in your succession planning conversation. Drawing on our recent VFLS Quarterly Briefing, he covers:

🔹 The succession statistics every business owner should know
🔹 The paths available when it's time to transition a business
🔹 What an ESOP is, and what it isn't
🔹 The benefits for the company, management, employees, and sellers
🔹 The trade-offs to weigh before moving forward

Whether you're a business owner or an advisor to one, it's a strong starting point for planning the next chapter.
