The leadership at Tucker-Jones is appreciative of the guidance that BDO Capital provided as we considered ESOP an ownership transition option. They were able to provide a comprehensive understanding of the ESOP plan to a group unfamiliar with the ESOP process. The team at BDO Capital guided us through the process, including initial financial models to the selection of trustee, legal, and banking professionals. We were able to create an ownership transition plan that met the goals of the owners and employees, allowing the corporate culture to remain unchanged. BDO Capital is a great choice if considering an ESOP for ownership transition.
