This is a key question, because from outright buyouts to equity partnerships, we’re seeking combinations that work, not partnerships that fit a certain profile.

That said, who qualifies, and what and who are we looking for?

With some possible exceptions, potential partners should be:

• Primarily fee-based
• Credentialed advisors (or working towards accreditation)
• Client-focused
• Clean regulatory history
• Not heavy “market timers”
• A desire to grow

While a lot of institutional-sized firms can help you with some of the burden of running your business, Allworth Financial offers you a different kind of experience. We’re not going to just free you up so you can go grow. We’re going to free you up and (if you desire) put dozens of future clients in front of you each year. So, if you’re overburdened and feeling the strain of carrying all the responsibility yourself, or if your business isn’t growing the way you’d like? You should contact Allworth.

Additionally, we’re at the beginning of a national expansion with plans to grow to $20B and beyond in a few short years. You and your business can be a part of that growth.

A lot of firms say: “We’ll help you grow.”

The difference is that we do 100% of the marketing for you. That means it’s “on us” to find you qualified leads while simultaneously freeing you up from compliance and administrative concerns.
