Hiring and keeping high-quality employees is the #1 ingredient to long-term success in the construction industry. Putting together a long-lasting and successful ESOP may be a competitive advantage in recruiting, hiring, and retaining top talent.

Advance your ESOP knowledge at our May 20, 2025 webinar, “ESOPs 201 – Blueprint for a Successful ESOP.” Join ESOP experts Bob Massengill of Pilot Hill Advisors and Mary Beth Gray of Kleinbard – facilitated by Wayne Rivers of Performance Construction Advisors - to take your understanding of how ESOPs work to the next level.

This program will discuss the difference between “bank debt” and “ESOP debt” as well as the potential impact on surety capacity from additional leverage.  Another important topic will be the tax differences for sellers between S and C corporation ESOPs.  Lastly, we will offer observations on the importance of planning around the post-transaction impact on pre-qualification and licensing.

The program will also address the most common misperceptions about ESOPs and allow for questions from contractors, underwriters, and agents interested in learning more. Please click on the link below to register for this important ESOP education experience.
