This reference guide looks at ESOPs, seen primarily as a method of improving corporate results through motivating employees, but which also has a role in corporate finance as a provider of capital in a highly tax efficient manner. Multinationals wishing to spread shares internationally and quoted companies wanting to capture equity for share incentives can successfully utilize an ESOP scheme and it is therefore anticipated that implementation of such schemes will follow the pattern of the US and will become a familiar tool of corporate finance. The legal and accounting ramifications are explored in this book. This text provides a reference source for the Chief Executive, Treasurer, and executive officers in medium to large companies in the UK but will also be of relevance to their banking, legal and tax advisors. The author is currently a member of the Centre for Economic Performance (LSE) and the Centre for Business Strategy (LBS) and is currently working on a large scale survey of employee ownership in the UK.
