The Hidden Costs of Going It Alone

Common pitfalls that cost advisors hundreds of thousands in lost value

Undervaluation

Without market expertise, advisors typically accept offers 20-40% below fair market value. You don't know what you don't know about current multiples.

Deal Structure Mistakes

Poor earnout terms, unfavorable non-competes, and inadequate client protection can cost hundreds of thousands in lost value.

Extended Timelines

DIY transitions take multiple years, during which your practice value may decline and opportunities disappear.

Limited Buyer Pool

Without our extensive buyer network, you're limited to negotiating with just a few potential buyers, which removes competitive pressure and severely restricts your opportunities.

Legal & Tax Pitfalls

One misstructured deal term can trigger unnecessary tax liabilities or legal exposures that could have been avoided.

Emotional Toll

Managing your practice sale while serving clients is overwhelming. Deals fall apart when you can't dedicate necessary time.

Common Seller Questions

Everything you need to know about selling your practice

How long will the process take?

Most transactions close within 9-12 months with our guidance, compared to 18-24 months for DIY sales. We streamline the process while ensuring you get maximum value.

Will my clients be protected?

Absolutely. We carefully vet buyers and structure deals to ensure continuity of service and client protection. Your clients' well-being is a top priority in our matching process.

Can I stay on after the sale?

Yes. We structure many deals where sellers continue as employees, consultants, or partners post-transaction. Your involvement level is completely customizable.

What if I'm not ready to sell immediately?

We help advisors plan 1-5 years ahead, positioning practices for maximum value when you're ready. Early planning significantly increases final valuations.

How do you really make money if it's free to me?

Buyers pay us a success fee upon closing. This ensures we're motivated to get you the best deal possible - the higher your valuation, the more we earn.

What makes you different from other M&A firms?

35+ years exclusive focus on advisor transitions, 300,000+ network, and zero cost to sellers. Our track record and aligned incentives set us apart.

The Succession Point Difference

Hear from advisors who've successfully navigated their transitions

Succession Point gave me the insight and leverage I needed. They helped me evaluate offers and negotiate the best deal. I now offer full family office services and doubled my growth—something I couldn't do at my old firm.

Former W-2 Advisor

Working with Succession Point opened doors I didn't know existed. Their industry knowledge runs deep, and their hands-on consulting helped me identify the right growth strategy—without pushing any agenda. I now have equity in a larger enterprise and access to infrastructure I could never have built on my own.

Independent Advisor

Succession Point helped me make sense of an overwhelming M&A landscape. Their deep experience and steady guidance gave me the confidence to evaluate each path—from minority investments to full sale. In the end, I received three times what I thought my practice was worth. I wouldn't have gotten there without them.
