Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why do I need to be an Elite buyer?
Only Elite buyers can build a profile of their business and be eligible to participate in an acquisition.
-
What is the profile and how is it used?
The profile is a robust source of information on the buyer and one of the primary sources of information for the seller to review when determining who will be invited to bid on the practice.
-
If I build a profile, will I be a part of the bidding process?
You might, but it is not guaranteed as that is strictly determined by the seller in each individual case.
-
Do I have to build a new profile when I express interest in a future sale?
Your profile will be available to future sellers as long as you maintain your Elite buyer status. However, you may want to tweak it when you express interest in another practice if any metrics have changed or if you want to convey a particular message to the seller based on their profile.
-
Is there a specific time frame commitment for the Elite buyer membership?
No. You may cancel your membership at any time. Keep in mind doing so will also eliminate your ability to be considered for an acquisition. Your profile will remain intact should you decide to become an Elite buyer again at a future point.
-
When will I be able to interact directly with the seller?
After the bidding process, those candidates selected by the seller to move forward will have an initial interview with the seller, led by the Advisor Legacy Coach. This will be the first opportunity to interact directly. We request that communications following this step still go through our Advisor Legacy team as we have found that to be in the best interest of both the seller and the buyer candidate.
-
What if I have additional question during the Bidding stage?
Please email us your questions. If they are general and would be helpful to all candidates, we will post them (along with the answers) in our Q&A section that is on the reports page provided to bidders. If they are specific, the proper team member will respond directly to you.
-
If I am selected by the seller to purchase their practice, what is next?
Our Advisor Legacy team will continue to work with the seller and you (collectively) throughout the deal terms finalization, preparation of legal agreements, planning for the client transition, and coordinating funding/disbursements. That is, we continue to step you through the process all the way through the close of the sale/purchase.
