    Six years ago, we teamed up with FP Transitions to craft a succession blueprint for our company. Today, we're thrilled to be executing our fourth series of transitions to the next wave of owners. The integrated expertise of FP Transitions, encompassing Consulting, Valuation, Analytics, and Legal services, has consistently streamlined the process, ensuring each handover is a success.

    Transitioning from a major broker dealer to acquiring four books of business and establishing an independent office was quite the challenge, especially when it came to dealing with all the legal documentation. Thankfully, FP Transitions was there every step of the way, providing us with invaluable guidance and support to build a solid foundation for our new venture. It's impressive how, in just 6 months, FP's internal legal team managed to draft 54 legal documents tailored precisely to our needs. Partnering with FP significantly reduced our risk, especially with the flexible earnout purchase model based on revenue. The experience taught us the importance of thorough education and meticulous documentation, making our transition smoother and more secure, all thanks to the expertise and assistance of FP Transitions.

    Nearly a decade ago, we engaged FP Transitions with a clear goal in mind: to accurately value our practice and lay the foundation for the transition of ownership. Their guidance was invaluable. From the beginning, they expertly navigated us through each step, offering wise counsel and ensuring nothing was overlooked. Reflecting on the journey, I cannot think of anything which should have been done differently. The fee paid to FP Transitions was an excellent investment for our firm, not an expense.
