I’ve only known people who bought books from advisors retiring, none to join as a successor where the advisor was staying on for another 5 or so years.
structure the deal so you are not buying your clients. what i mean is: the RIA manages 120 mill and you have 50 mill under management with the RIA. you are only buying 70 mill. i walked away because the owner refused to acknowledge my clients were with the RIA because of me and i wasn't going to pay him for my clients
Chip away at ownership over those 5 years. Maybe allow the first 2 to pass, but don’t wait until year 5 to strike a deal.
Are you asking for advice on how to structure the succession, or generally how to vet a company and see if you’re a good fit?
More in general what questions would you have asked knowing what you do now.
