WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR ESOP DISTRIBUTION MATTERS.

  • 1

    You Have a Limited Window to Act

    Once your ESOP distribution is triggered, you typically have 60 days to decide whether to roll it over into an IRA or 401(k). Missing this window can result in a large, immediate tax bill.

  • 2

    The Tax Implications Are Significant

    Without proper planning, your ESOP payout could be treated as ordinary income, potentially pushing you into a higher tax bracket and costing you tens of thousands of dollars.

  • 3

    Your Retirement Security Is at Stake

    This may be the largest single sum of money you ever receive. How you invest it will determine the quality of your retirement for decades to come.

CONFIDENCE. SECURITY. CLARITY.

SBC Financial has helped Michigan families navigate complex retirement transitions since 2008. We already work with several Bradford White employees and their families. Here is how we help them make the most of their ESOP distribution.

ESOP, IRA & 401(k) Rollover Guidance

We walk you through the exact steps to roll over your ESOP distribution into a tax-advantaged IRA or 401(k), preserving your wealth and deferring taxes.

Tax Reduction & NUA ESOP Planning

Our team builds a strategy to minimize your tax liability on your distribution — including evaluating Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA), a tax strategy unique to ESOP participants that could allow you to pay lower capital gains rates instead of ordinary income tax — so you keep more of what you earned.

Retirement Income Planning

We create a personalized retirement income plan that ensures your ESOP payout works for you for the rest of your life.

Estate & Legacy Planning

We help you protect and pass on your wealth to the people and causes you care about most.
