Exit readiness for advice firm owners: What to prepare, what to expect, what to avoid
11 March 2026
12pm - 1pm
Selling an advice firm can be a lengthy process, and many of the issues that affect timing, value and outcome start well before a buyer is formally involved.
This webinar is for IFA and financial services business owners who want a clearer view of what buyers will ask for, what tends to slow deals down, and what can be prepared in advance to make the process smoother.
We cover:
-
The information buyers typically expect to see, and how to prepare it
-
The financial, regulatory and legal areas that often need attention before a sale
-
When to start getting documents, data and records in order
-
What the sale process usually looks like in practice
-
The most common mistakes sellers make when preparing for a transaction
-
The legal and compliance tidy-up needed before going to market
