Blunt Business

Blunt Business welcomes Darren Gleeman, author of "The Cannabis ESOP Architect," to discuss how Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) offer a revolutionary, IRS-approved, zero-tax exit strategy for cannabis businesses, making the 280E tax irrelevant. Darren explained that ESOPs are the only significant M&A activity in the cannabis sector, fostering employee engagement and retention by turning them into owners with bulk payouts upon leaving, while increased cash flow from tax savings fuels company growth. He also stated that federal rescheduling would enhance ESOP benefits, and discussed the book's role in educating the industry and his interest in advertising strategies for client acquisition.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
