You want to sell your business—but not to some corporate buyer who’s going to gut your team and toss your legacy aside. What if there’s another way?

In this episode, Scott Peper, our CEO and Founder, sits down with Manny Calzon, Managing Director at Ambrose Advisors, to unpack ESOPs—Employee Stock Ownership Plans—and why they’re one of the most misunderstood (but powerful) exit options for construction business owners.

You’ll learn:

🔹 What an ESOP actually is—and why “selling to your employees” is only part of the story
🔹 How to structure your business so it’s even eligible for this type of sale
🔹 The financial reporting and team setup you need to pull it off
🔹 Why this route might preserve your company—and your culture—better than a traditional sale

Whether you’re thinking about exiting in 10 years or just want to build a business that’s set up right, this episode is packed with practical knowledge you can’t afford to ignore.
