EXIT READINESS FOR ADVICE FIRM OWNERS

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​
