Are you looking for capital to either start or grow your business? The ROBS transaction is a funding vehicle that is also a tax shelter. It essentially uses your retirement monies (401(k), 403(b), Defined Benefit Plan, etc.) to fund your business without incurring hefty tax penalties.

Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs) are employee benefit plans that are similar to profit-sharing plans. With an ESOP, a company sets up a trust fund, contributing new shares of its own stock or cash to buy existing shares.
While ESOPs may sound somewhat similar to ROBS, they're commonly used to provide a market for the shares of owners of successful companies to reward employees, or to take advantage of incentives to borrow money for acquiring new assets in pretax dollars. ESOPs are normally a contribution to the employee, not an employee purchase.
