SRG was great. Proactive, patient, expert. At the end of the day, I received exactly the product I was looking for.

Thank you for your services. I am convinced that, had my partner and I taken this to an attorney, we would have spent two or three times as much. Also, I especially appreciate your attention to the tax aspects of the succession plan (...)

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What do I need to provide?

You will also receive cash flow modeling, a Memorandum of Understanding, role transition, timeline, financing, compensation research studies (owner only), contracts, checklists, and any other resources needed to complete the deal.

  • What is the difference between contingency planning and succession planning?

    Each of these services help assist the owner transition their business. However, the methodologies used, potential triggering events, and urgency varies.

    Contingency Plans: Contingency Plans are designed to help the owner transition their business to an internal/external licensed advisor (typically within the same broker-dealer/custodian/city and state) immediately in the event of death, disability, and/or loss of license. There is usually a discount applied to contingency plan deals due to the unknown and expedited nature.

    Succession Plans: Succession Plans are designed to help the owner transition their business to internal advisors over an extended period of time. These plans can vary in duration, with some plans focusing on sharing equity while others focus on the founder's eventual retirement and sale.
