Hicks Holding, LLC was starting in May of 2015, it was started to fill a void that we saw in our community. Demond and Loren Hicks realized that most people didn’t know how to invest or protect their micro businesses. So, we decided to take what we’ve accumulated over the years in government contracting also in the private and public sectors and offer our services at prices that people could afford.
Demond Hicks is a recurring contributor on CNBC’s The Closing Bell he has been part of the Retail Investors Roundtable for more than 2 years. He consults with over 20 individuals and businesses on stock purchases, mini IPOs and REIT investments. Demond was in The Washington Business Journal as A Businessperson on the come up in the DC area in 2016. He also manages the stock vesting and dividends for Bob Johnson’s public REIT (founder of BET).
