How To Value A Financial Planning Practice

An investment business valuation represents a snapshot view of the market value of your life’s work in the investment industry. The sad reality is that most investment advisors fail to consider an investment business valuation until it comes time to sell their investment business. While not always obvious to advisors, the importance of periodic valuation assessments is analogous to the need for periodic reviews of your personal investment portfolio.

Developing a valuation range for your financial planning practice through an investment business valuation is one of the first steps in developing a marketing strategy to sell an investment business. AdviserXchange can help sellers of such businesses develop a valuation range for their investment business so they can assess their current situation and move forward with the sale of their business. A simple conversation with one of our advisers can get the process started.

The resulting information helps determine the valuation range of your business.
