- Going to ESOP - but very expensive - such as $250k for legal fees, as it's complex. lawyers, FCC, labor law, HR. Must be cash flow positive and growing. 2015 expected to be cash flow positive for whole year. Retroactive ESOP. Take out life insurance policies on head people. Valuation happens. Company has to have enough cash to buy itself. This gets funded via life insurance policies on key players. Then Jeff can exit - can sell it into the ESOP. Employees end up owning shares. Subchapter F - company itself pays zero income taxes (no double taxation).
- PEO - Professional Employment Organization - Insperity - all HR functions of Aleph Objects comes from Insperity. Then they can employ people like a 400,000 person company. Costs 18% on top of a person's paycheck.
