I engaged with Guidant for the process of a ROBS 401(k) formation to fund a business acquisition. Paid a substantial fee up front for the service. Everyone we dealt with was knowledgeable, professional and personable. As we moved through the education/disclosure process my spouse and I concluded that it wasn't the right vehicle for our particular situation. Guidant was just as professional when we reached that decision. We never had the slightest feeling they were trying to push a product or do anything other than act in our best interest and make sure we knew exactly what we would be signing up for. As a testament to their ethical nature, they were even prompt in issuing a (very fair) partial refund of what we had paid. Their actions and the entire engagement was a success from my perspective. We learned quickly about the pros/cons of this type of financial vehicle. They definitely are a company that knew it in detail. I had done substantial research on a ROBS 401k prior to engaging Guidant but learned so much more from them. I've never written a review for a company who's product or service I didn't ultimately buy. I feel compelled in this case because we were so well served by the engagement and education. If you're considering this type of funding vehicle I would recommend them without hesitation.
