By LAURIE KELLMAN, DANICA KIRKA, JOCELYN NOVECK AND LORI HINNANT (Associated Press)LONDON (AP) — The families of Israel’s dead are holding funerals and mourning in the wake of Hamas’ deadly rampage. The loved ones of people thought to have been taken hostage are demanding the captives’ release. But nearly two weeks after the worst civilian massacre in Israel’s history, the families of the missing are wandering through a landscape of pain and numbness with no clear horizon and few, if any answers. The not-knowing, they say, plunges them into cycles of sorrow and hope. “I don’t know what will be,” said Rachel Goldberg, whose 23-year-old son, Hersh Goldberg-Polin was last seen being loaded into a pickup with other hostages abducted by the Hamas militants from the Tribe of Nova music festival. Witnesses said he lost part of an arm in a grenade attack. “So in the meantime, I just keep walking through hell, because if I stop, then ...

Unlocking Employee Ownership: Sharevance Redefining Small Business Exits

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:50:42 GMT

Small business owners are entrepreneurs who excel at establishing and running their operations. But despite their dedication to creating company value, exit planning often takes a back seat.Many business owners automatically look for an external buyer, but the current small business buyer system is insufficient.

These buyers are already experts and invested: current employees.Enter Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs).ESOPs provide a flexible means of profitably selling a business and rewarding employees.

Sharevance is changing the narrative and simplifying the small business path to ESOPs. At the heart of the company is a dynamic team with diverse expertise that has come...
