Helping clients transition ownership while maintaining company success and reputation.

Our Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) industry team leverages deep experience to help clients navigate industry nuances as part of a successful sale.

The cyclical nature of the industry and the fact that many businesses are owned by a select few founders or a single family, make this industry a natural fit for an ESOP structure. ESOPs can create a flexible path for shareholders to transition ownership at fair market value while preserving the legacy and culture of the business. 

Having advised and structured transactions for AEC firms across the country, our team helps clients navigate licensure and bonding requirements and prevent future growth plans from being limited by the transaction.

BDO Capital delivered an exceptional outcome for our shareholders, management team and entire organization. We interviewed several leading investment banks at the start of this process and ultimately selected BDO Capital due to the unique global reach of its platform, commitment to senior banker involvement, as well as appreciation for the key value drivers of our business and how best to communicate those to potential investors. This transaction allowed us to expand our ownership group to include more key leaders in the organization and to add the expertise required to take Synergi to the next level.

Jim Admiraal
CEO of Synergi, LLC

As the sole owner of a company with great employees and enormous potential, I needed to have a plan in place in five years to provide the company and the employees security for the future. Thanks to BDO Capital this plan was achieved in less than a year. I never would have imagined the company name will be around long after I am and now I can thanks to the efforts, guidance, and expertise of the BDO Capital team. BDO Capital Senior staff worked side by side with us every day to find and secure the perfect partner for our company’s future.
