Merger or Sale: Finding the Right Path to Your Exit

Two of the most common transition strategies. Two very different outcomes. This session breaks down what separates them — and how to know which one fits your goals, your practice, and your timeline.

Know Your Options Before You're at the Table

Most solo advisors don't start thinking seriously about a merger or sale until an offer lands in their inbox. By then, the window to plan is already closing.

This session is designed to give you a clear-eyed look at both paths — what they actually look like in practice, how they're structured, and what your entity, your client base, and your timeline have to do with the outcome you can realistically expect.

What You'll Walk Away Knowing

  • How mergers and sales differ structurally — and why choosing the wrong path costs more than just money
  • What buyers evaluate when they look at a solo or small firm, and how to close the gaps before you go to market
  • How your entity structure affects your deal options, your tax outcome, and your leverage at the table
  • When a merger is the right move on its own — and when it's a bridge to a full exit
  • The planning steps that create optionality, regardless of which path you ultimately choose

Best fit for solo advisors and small firm owners who are fielding inquiries, evaluating growth options, or beginning to think seriously about a future transition.
