ESOP Valuation
Services
Research Optimus (ROP) delivers industry-leading, independent valuations of Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP). ROP’s team of analysts is equipped to handle transactions that are far more complicated than regular business transactions. We have more than a decade of experience in comprehensive ESOP transaction support, update valuations, appraisal reviews, and reporting.
ROP’s ESOP valuations incorporate all of the usual complications related to business valuations, with the added difficulties related to various types of fair market values, control premiums, discounts based on liquidity, tax structures, and multiple other factors. Furthermore, every ESOP valuation completed by our team is detailed enough to pass even the most stringent IRS review.
