Many ESOPs think of the repurchase obligation study as a financial exercise, a way to forecast future cash needs. But what if it could do more?
This week, Mike Brady, Managing Director at 40 Million Owners, and Ryan Kuchta, Director of Client Services at ESOP Partners, are joining members of the The National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO) ESOP Finance Leadership Peer Network to explore how repurchase planning can also spark strategic growth.
They will share how smart ESOPs are using repurchase forecasts not just to protect the future but to build it, linking those insights to intentional acquisition strategies that strengthen cash flow, diversify revenue, and grow enterprise value.
It is all about creating a balanced model that safeguards employee ownership today while fueling the opportunities of tomorrow.
