Merge --> Stay --> Sell
Slightly different than the traditional "Sell and Stay", which is when an advisor sells their practice and then continues working with clients for a period of time, join CGN Advisors in a Merge --> Stay --> Sell arrangement.
MERGE.
First, transition your clients to CGN Advisors and maintain your brand as a DBA office of CGN.
STAY.
Then, continue to serve your clients by leveraging our turnkey RIA platform, with assurance that a death/disability contingency plan is in place in case something happens to you. Let us take many of the operations, billing, technology, marketing, compliance and investment management functions off your plate so you can spend more time focusing on what truly matters–financial planning for your clients.
SELL.
Finally, ensure continuity for your clients and realize the value in the business you’ve built by executing a planned succession to CGN.
