Banks often have banking specialties in an industry such as healthcare. Here, we take another view and look at a banking specialty across a variety of industries. There are only a few banks with an ESOP banking focus largely because banks have not invested the time to understand the complexities and the opportunities.
In this podcast, we partner with Tony Eppert, a partner at Hunton Andrews Kurth, to look at how ESOPs are structured, how lending to ESOPs can reduce credit risk and increase balance plus how to separate your bank from the competition.
