Buying a Practice
Never enter a transaction without the proper due diligence. We ensure our buyers invest wisely.
Identify the right fit for today and tomorrow
The volume of practices for sale represents an unprecedented opportunity for growth. But choosing the right practice to acquire is the key to success.
In a recent study, nearly half of advisors weren’t satisfied with the outcome of their acquisitions. Often, advisors don’t anticipate the complications and unknowns that come with the process of buying a practice and integrating it to achieve long-term growth.
Advisor Legacy has supported hundreds of succession transactions – we know what to look for to ensure you’re maximizing your time and resources.

Make a complicated process run more smoothly
We offer the systems, tools and experience to help you through every stage of an acquisition, whether you’ve already identified a practice to buy or are just starting to look. Here are the ways we can help throughout the process:
Legal Support
Handshake deals are too risky for your practice. We ensure that our clients have the appropriate legal contracts and written terms to protect all that they have worked to build. The attorneys that we work with have been fully vetted and were carefully selected because they understand the nuances of our business.
Most of our Advisor Legacy services include the attorney consultations and contracts; however, in some circumstances additional attorney services are necessary. If you would like to learn more about specific legal services, contact our attorney partners.
Bank Financing
For many buyers who are short on cash or who wish for more flexible terms on their deal, bank financing is an ideal solution. We work with banks specializing in this space who are uniquely qualified to underwrite and approve lending for financial advisory practice sales. Several types of loans exist and knowing what you qualify for ahead of time can help you put your best foot forward in the negotiation process.
