Job Description

Buy-out retirement package


Whether you're set up as an appointed representative (AR) or as a Registered Individual (RI) There are plenty of options and support available. 

If you find yourself contemplating a move, here are the top four reasons that may be driving your decision:

  1. Your current firm is considering selling, which could lead to uncertainties about the future and may prompt you to explore alternative options.

  2. You desire to retain a higher portion of your income.

  3. Perhaps you require additional assistance with administrative tasks or Paraplanning, and seeking a new partnership could offer the support you need.

  4. You have retirement plans, but your current firm lacks proper succession planning, making you consider other arrangements to secure your future.


It's important to acknowledge that finding a perfect 10/10 company may be unrealistic, however, making small changes can significantly impact your business. These changes may include refining processes, enhancing compliance procedures, leveraging advanced technology, or obtaining support for back-office tasks, as well as devising a robust succession or retirement plan.

For us we partner with firms that are a good size, complete independence, and have comprehensive back-office support. Moreover, these firms can effectively assist advisors who are planning to exit the industry.
