FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Most firms either wait for buyers to appear or get blasted to a marketplace.
We run a private, proactive process — evaluating your firm, aligning on structure, and introducing you to a small number of curated buyers. No auctions. No noise.

Most transactions close within 6–12 months from introduction, depending on structure and preparedness.
Alignment upfront shortens timelines.

We work with RIAs ranging from solo advisors to multi-partner firms — whether you’re exploring succession, liquidity, or a strategic growth partnership.

Earlier than most advisors think.
For some, succession means preparing for retirement. For others, a transition means de-risking, scaling, or monetizing a portion while continuing to grow. Timing depends more on objectives than age.

There is no cost to explore a transition with us.

We limit the number of buyers we work with to protect our sellers.
Typically, buyers have $500M+ in AUM, at least one completed acquisition, and a dedicated M&A lead.
We are not for first-time buyers or firms in “education mode.”
