## Description

The National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO) has been the leading authority on Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) since 1981. With over 6,500 ESOPs at 6,322 companies, covering 14.7 million participants and holding over $2.1 trillion in assets, NCEO provides unbiased information and research on broad-based employee stock plans.
ESOPs are beneficial as they provide employees with retirement assets, increased wages, and additional employee retirement plans. In addition, ESOP companies often outperform those without such plans, with substantial gains in performance when combined with participative management programs.
ESOPs are versatile, used for various purposes such as providing a market for a departing owner's shares, as a supplemental employee benefit plan, or to borrow money in a tax-favored manner. They are prevalent in industries like professional services, manufacturing, and construction.
For informative content on ESOPs, check out their website for articles, infographics, and interactive resources. Explore the world of employee ownership with NCEO and unlock the benefits of ESOPs for both employees and businesses.
