BDO Capital Advisors guided Action Electric through the process of exploring strategic alternatives available to the owner, including ESOPs. Eventually, forming an ESOP was chosen as the best option by the owner to preserve Action Electrics’ legacy. BDO Capital not only understood the financial value of the company but also Action Electric’s mission and the owner’s goals.
