The resulting entity from this merger will operate under the name Elite Advisor Successions.
Under the umbrella of Elite Advisor Successions, the newly formed platform aims to empower financial advisors in expanding and monetising their practices through acquisitions, whether as qualified buyers or sellers.
Employing a proprietary evaluation process, Elite Advisor Successions will leverage an online suite of cutting-edge tools and resources alongside consulting services. This comprehensive approach is designed to facilitate a seamless match between advisors and acquisition or succession opportunities.
The synergy anticipated from the creation of Elite Advisor Successions is poised to deliver enhanced outcomes for client firms seeking to recruit financial advisors. Simultaneously, it is expected to increase the number of sellers entering the market, providing prospective buyers with a more extensive pool of opportunities.
This strategic move aligns with Elite Consulting Partners’ commitment to offering a holistic solution for financial advisors and firms navigating the intricate landscape of the buy-sell process. The incorporation of Advisors Successions, into Elite’s operations signifies a significant step toward reinforcing the firm’s capabilities and fostering growth within the financial services industry.
