BDO Capital Advises LDa Architecture & Interiors on the sale to a newly formed ESOP

Atlanta, GA – September 19, 2024– BDO Capital Advisors, LLC (BDO Capital) is pleased to announce that LDa Architecture & Interiors, Inc. (LDa or the Company) has sold 100 percent of its stock to the newly formed LDa Architecture & Interiors Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). BDO Capital served as the exclusive financial advisor to LDa on this transaction which builds on the firm’s experience working with founder-led organizations in the architecture, engineering and construction industry. Managing Director Blake Head and Director Jacob Cook, led the client engagement for BDO Capital.

Founded in 1992, LDa has provided award-winning design solutions for clients throughout New England, practicing in the residential, interior design, commercial, cultural, and academic sectors. The firm’s mission is the same today as it was during the first year, when they worked out of an office in the basement of Treff LaFleche’s home: to offer excellent design and client service. The sale to an ESOP will allow LDa to share its success and help incentivize their greatest asset: their employees. Founders Treff LaFleche and Douglas Dick will remain active in the business as principals.

BDO Capital provided LDa the thoughtful leadership needed to successfully sell our firm to our employees. Over 18 months, they worked closely with our leadership team. Their in-depth knowledge of the SBA-backed ESOP program was essential. They guided us through the valuation process, the strategic acquisition of Charles Street Design, and the implementation of the LDa Architecture & Interiors ESOP.
