The Heart of the Deal

Exploring the emotional journey owners face when undergoing external partnerships.

RIA owners sell their companies for many reasons: to solve for succession, gain the resources of a larger partner, reduce financial risk, to add services for their clients, and more. When you embark on the sales journey, you expect to negotiate valuation, deal structure, and other quantifiable components.

Yet, you might be unprepared when confronted by another common-but-critical, and unexpected, factor: The emotional side of selling.

In collaboration with DeVoe & Company, “The Heart of the Deal” explores the emotional journey and unforeseen challenges an owner will face when undergoing an external partnership, and then delves into how to overcome many of those barriers.

You will also learn:

The three main areas of concern for business owners when selling
The most common fears principals have about transition planning
How to move beyond the emotional barriers to make decisions that are right for your goals
