New RIA
Are you planning to form your own RIA? Do you do predominantly fee-based business and want to form your own RIA?
Are you analyzing the cost, energy, and compliance requirements associated with a broker-dealer relationship? Do you plan to eliminate (or have you already eliminated) most variable insurance and commission business from your service offering to clients? Are you considering whether to deal with one regulatory agency rather than both the SEC or state and FINRA? If so, we can absolutely help you. We have helped dozens of advisors in this situation over the past 20 years, and can guide you through what to expect and plan for throughout the process.
