Independent Broker Dealer Firms

Financial Practice/Broker Dealer Sale
Since we have been in business, we have been
getting calls from advisors who want to either
buy or sell a book of business.  With the aging
of today's financial advisor, the average age of
the advisor is 58 years old.  In this aging
population, it only makes sense that some
advisors will want to retire.  Seeing this
demand, we have accomodated these requests and
have begun to help advisors sell their books and
we have also helped smaller broker dealers sell
their firms.
