The sad reality is that most investment advisors fail to consider an investment business valuation until it comes time to sell their investment business. While not always obvious to advisors, the importance of periodic valuation assessments is analogous to the need for periodic reviews of your personal investment portfolio.

Developing a valuation range for your financial planning practice through an investment business valuation is one of the first steps in developing a marketing strategy to sell an investment business. AdviserXchange can help sellers of such businesses develop a valuation range for their investment business so they can assess their current situation and move forward with the sale of their business. A simple conversation with one of our advisers can get the process started.

Do You Need Assistance on How to Value a Financial Planning Practice?

When conducting an investment business valuation, one of the first things adviserXchange does is help you look beyond the assets under management. The national nature of our services means that we have the ability to stay abreast of investment businesses being sold across the country. A review of local competition and the level of interest from prospective buyers add another dimension to the valuation process. The resulting information helps determine the valuation range of your business.

By utilizing the advisory services available through adviserXchange, we can help you achieve the upper-end of the valuation range of your investment business valuation. This is accomplished by promoting your business to buyers with a demonstrated interest in investment businesses like yours. As a result, the sale process oftentimes moves along more smoothly. You can start the process of maximizing the sale price of your investment business by contacting us today.

Among those operating in this sector are successful financial advisors who have spent a lifetime nurturing their financial advisory practices day-in and day-out to take it to the level of peak operating performance. By the same token, some financial advisors don’t always stay within the industry over the long term.

Regardless of the time spent in the industry, you need a reliable financial services M&A adviser when it comes time to sell your practice. The sales process deserves the same amount of attention as you used building your practice to help ensure your objectives are met. Thus, you should look to a M&A adviser who can work with you based upon your level of need. At adviserXchange, we help sellers develop a customized sales solution that best matches their desired level of assistance when they go to sell their practice.

Multiple Levels of Services for Financial Advisors Seeking a Financial Services M&A Adviser

As an active financial services M&A adviser, adviserXchange offers a service called the Practice Exchange which is designed for sellers who don’t require extensive consulting assistance. This basic listing and referral service primarily operates to match sellers with pre-qualified buyers approved by one of our representatives based on the compatibility of their profiles as well as their financial capability. Once a satisfactory match has been made, we then work with you to help ensure the sale is successfully concluded.

If you’re like many sellers, however, you need a financial services M&A adviser who can provide a more targeted and/or proactive marketing campaign in order to sell your financial services practice at the optimal price. AdviserXchange can help in this area as well as others through our sell-side advisory services.

We have developed this service in an effort to fill a void in the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market: The need for a versatile M&A adviser proactively working to match buyers and sellers of financial services businesses. RIAs, registered representatives and other financial professionals who are interested in such opportunities will find that we offer a full range of services in this arena.

The buyer’s experience begins by completing a background and objectives survey. Buyers are also required to demonstrate a level of professional experience and registration or licensing as well as the financial wherewithal that makes the acquisition of a financial services business possible. This information is accompanied by a confidentiality agreement that protects the identity and business information of the sellers as well. Our advisers then use this information to help buyers find the financial services business opportunities that fit their targeted objectives.

Find the Right Financial Services Business Opportunities at AdviserXchange

Your pursuit of financial services business opportunities can be enhanced with proactive assistance from adviserXchange. Through our pre-screening process, we can help you find sellers who best match your acquisition objectives, which is vital for buyers looking to streamline the search process and only want to receive information on pre-screened sale candidates without going through the challenge of finding them on their own. In certain circumstances, we can also be engaged by buyers to locate potential sellers of financial services businesses who are not already working with us.

The difference between our firm and most other M&A advisers and brokers is that we focus on just one thing: The successful transition of financial services business opportunities. We can be involved in as little or as much of the process as you desire. Our Practice Exchange service allows you to take control of much of the process, whereas our comprehensive advisory services provides more support to those advisors requiring it. If you’re in the market for a financial services business, call us to see how we can assist you with your acquisition objectives.

The lure of retirement or the desire to slow down should make the decision easy.

Matching Financial Services Businesses For Sale With Buyers

Sellers who desire more comprehensive advisory services when they go to put their financial services business up for sale will not be disappointed. AdviserXchange can help you assess the value of your business, prepare and draft your offering memorandum, and identify and market the business to pre-qualified, compatible buyers so you won’t waste time talking to potential buyers who don’t match up well with your firm or have the financial capacity to finalize the deal. Once the right buyer is found, we’ll then help you close the transaction in a smooth and efficient manner.

If you aren’t quite ready to market your financial services business for sale and/or completely exit your firm, you may want to consider utilizing the exit/succession planning services available through adviserXchange. These services are best suited for advisors who aren’t quite ready to fully retire but are desirous of addressing a planned transition event, such as a targeted retirement date. Regardless of your needs, give us a call today to discuss how we can help facilitate the transition of your business.

As a mergers and acquisitions (M&A) firm who specializes in transitioning financial planning practices, adviserXchange strives to match up owners of financial planning practices for sale with compatible buyers in a smooth and efficient manner. We help you accomplish this by:

This information becomes especially important when an advisor is getting ready to evaluate potential sale, exit and/or succession options. If you’re at that point with your practice, your shrewdness as a veteran advisor should lead you toward an outside mergers and acquisitions (M&A) firm who’ll help you determine what your financial planning practice is worth.

As a proactive M&A firm, adviserXchange can assist clients with a financial planning practice valuation. And, while we don’t provide formal valuations ourselves, we couldn’t offer M&A services to advisors without staying abreast of the market values of financial planning practices that are sold. To that end, we can usually help you determine an informal range of value for your practice with only limited information being provided to us. Formal third-party evaluations can also be arranged once a decision is made to move forward with our services.

A Financial Planning Practice Valuation Can Help You Assess All Your Sales Options Through AdviserXchange

There are different methods available for obtaining a financial planning practice valuation. For example, small to mid-sized practices are typically valued on a multiple of revenue, whereas larger practices are usually valued on a discounted cash flow approach. These numbers and their corresponding values may be further adjusted up or down based upon factors such as client demographics and future growth expectations. The ideal outcome of this process is to derive a range of value for the practice in order to help you make an informed decision with your sale.

Financial advisors and planners need to anticipate both expected and unexpected changes as they plan for the future of their practices as well as their own personal needs. To that end, a pre-determined exit/succession plan can go a long way in taking the anxiety out of both the planned and unplanned events that affect the longevity of your practice.

When it comes to financial planning practice management, many advisors put off developing an exit or succession plan until just prior to their targeted departure from the practice. This isn’t always the best approach to dealing with this issue as circumstances can—and do—change over time. As a result, you may want to consider developing a plan that provides the best of both worlds now as opposed to some future date. The exit and succession planning services offered through adviserXchange will help you develop an alternative vision for this entire concept.

Maintain Your Financial Planning Practice Management Style with the Help of AdviserXchange

Unlike other merger and acquisition (M&A) firms, we provide exit and succession planning solutions designed to address a variety of situations encountered in the management of your financial planning practice. For example, a financial advisor can speak with one of our advisers about how to go about cutting back on administrative responsibilities associated with their practice. The principal idea behind this service is to give advisors the opportunity to customize a plan that allows them to ease out of their practice over a period of time.

You can also account for unplanned events and situations, such as sudden death or disability, in your financial planning practice management when you look to adviserXchange with your exit/succession plan needs. Our process is quite straightforward and begins by having you complete an exit/succession survey that helps us understand your goals and objectives.

It goes without saying that your years of hard work and exemplary service to clients make you an invaluable part of the ongoing success of your practice. Therefore, it’s your responsibility to plan for your eventual succession by putting into place a plan to account for both a planned or unplanned departure.

As a mergers and acquisitions (M&A) firm specializing in the transition of financial advisory practices, adviserXchange helps those advisors interested in financial advisor succession planning develop and execute a plan that’s customized to their goals and objectives. We start the process by having you complete one of our exit/succession surveys. This survey helps us assess your existing practice and determine your primary goals and objectives with the practice, as well as any additional objectives you may have with the succession.

Intelligent Financial Advisor Succession Planning Begins With AdviserXchange

When it’s all said and done, financial advisor succession planning through adviserXchange generally follows one of two distinct paths. That is, an advisor can develop a succession strategy either “with” or “without” a specific departure date. Regardless of your objective, we can help you develop and execute a succession plan that works for you, including a gradual exit/succession that allows you to only work a limited number of hours per week while helping your successor deal with the nuances of a successful longer-term transition.

By addressing financial advisor succession planning needs prior to your immediate departure from your practice, you can also go ahead and take some money off the table now rather than waiting for a future set date. It also allows you to provide a mechanism for dealing with unplanned events, such as death or disability.

If these are some of your goals and objectives, give us a call or submit your contact information today to discuss your specific exit/succession goals and objectives.

Create A Financial Advisor Exit Plan https://staging-adviserxchanged.kinsta.cloud/blog/create-a-financial-advisor-exit-plan/ Mon, 31 Dec 2018 13:17:28 +0000 http://staging-adviserxchanged.kinsta.cloud/?p=1046 Continue reading "Create A Financial Advisor Exit Plan"]]> A financial advisor exit plan can be difficult to execute if you don’t already have someone readily available to pick up the slack prior to your departure. The unfortunate reality is that it’s not uncommon for financial advisors to be reluctant to speak about certain future events or to plan for contingencies through an exit plan. The process of sitting down to think through and discuss such events and contingencies can be an arduous one.

AdviserXchange offers financial advisor exit plan services that are unique in the financial advisory world. Our team will show you that an exit plan doesn’t need to be as difficult to implement as you might think. In fact, many advisors in this area usually end up implementing a gradual (or two-step) plan to ease out of the daily rigors of their practice. What this means to you is that your exit plan works around your targeted exit event.

Plan for Both the Expected and Unexpected with a Financial Advisor Exit Plan

Many factors have to be taken into consideration when developing a financial advisor exit plan, including an analysis of your objectives and the availability of professional talent. In addition to planned events, such as retirement, the planning process must also account for unplanned events, such as death or disability, as well. AdviserXchange can show you how to address all of these needs through a plan that’ll work around all your objectives.

The first step in using adviserXchange to help create your financial advisor exit plan is the completion of an exit/succession survey. This survey allows an advisor to list all the objectives that must be taken into account in the development of the plan. Once we understand these objectives, we’ll work with you to devise a plan that helps ensure all of them are met.

These are just some of the issues financial advisors are required to deal with when attempting to market and sell their business on their own.

The merger and acquisition (M&A) services available through AdviserXchange are primarily designed for advisors wanting proactive assistance when marketing their financial advisor business for sale. Our relationship with each client begins with the completion of a confidential business survey so that we can quickly gain an understanding of your operation. The information compiled from this survey also forms the basis of the offering memorandum utilized to market your business to pre-qualified buyers.

We Help Cultivate Buyer Interest in a Financial Advisor Business For Sale

Before we begin marketing your financial advisor business for sale, however, AdviserXchange first helps you determine the value of your business. After the valuation has been completed, we then develop and conduct targeted marketing campaigns for your business to help ensure interest from the most ideal buyers. This is accomplished by using virtual and direct marketing programs designed to draw more interest in your business from qualified buyers than you could on your own.

The bottom line is that AdviserXchange connects sellers who want to market their financial advisor business for sale to the right buyers without having to expend an inordinate amount of time on the process. Once that connection has been made, we’ll then help you reach a successful conclusion to the transaction in a smooth and efficient manner.

  3. Guidance on due diligence and closing related matters

An additional feature of the M&A services available through adviserXchange is that you can customize the level of service to suit your specific needs when you’re ready to buy or sell an RIA.
