Continuity Planning

Establishing a practical plan to protect against an advisor’s sudden death or disability is one of the most important and challenging aspects of being an independent financial services practice owner. The vast majority of financial service practices are largely dependent on the skills and personalities of just one primary advisor, leaving the business, staff, and clients vulnerable should the founder have a catastrophic injury or illness. A heart attack, car accident, or stroke can erase years of built-up equity value— and client trust—in a heartbeat.

Regardless of your practice size or career path, determining the value of your business and creating a plan to protect it is the single most important step you can take for the future of your advisory career. Our Continuity Management Program (CMP) is designed to help independent financial service business owners establish a compliant, industry-specific plan that details what to do in the event of death or disability, and to ensure your legacy is protected.
