  • Wealth Advisors | Financial Advisors: Did you know that 40% of business sales are triggered by the 5 D’s—Death, Disability, Divorce, Disagreement, and Distress? 🚨 These unforeseen events often force owners to sell without a proper strategy, putting their financial future—and your client relationship—at serious risk. Here’s the hard truth: If there’s no Plan B, there is no plan. And if you’re not talking to your business owner clients about their exit strategy, someone else will be. Without proactive planning, business owners face: 🔸 Losing significant business value during a rushed sale 🔸 Financial instability post-exit 🔸 Emotional stress impacting their legacy This is where you come in. Partnering with Vesticor, you can: ✅ Help your clients maximize the value of their business ✅ Ensure they have a smooth transition to new ownership ✅ Secure and grow your AUM by aligning with their long-term goals Most M&A firms focus only on the sale. At Vesticor, we help you support business owners long before the transaction, positioning you as their trusted advisor throughout the process. 📅 Schedule a call: https://lnkd.in/eRWDg79v 📩 Email me: bsumme@vesticor.com Let’s make sure you’re the advisor they rely on before, during, and after their exit. #ExitPlanning #WealthAdvisors #BusinessOwners #SuccessionPlanning #MergersAndAcquisitions #ClientRetention

  • Attention Wealth Advisors: Did you know that over 1/3 of private business sales in the US are triggered sadly and unexpectedly by events like death, disability, divorce, or disagreement? Yet, too many business owners have no plan prepared for their future exit or transition. Ask yourself: When one of your business owner clients requires assistance and wants to learn about their options for exiting or transitioning out of their business, who do they contact first — the CPA, the Attorney, or your team? Data shows that the answer is crucial for financial advisors and will determine the likelihood of whether the advisor will receive the proceeds from the future sale of the business. If you’re a wealth advisor looking to better serve your business owner clients, let’s connect! Together, we can ensure your clients are always prepared for what’s next, and help you retain and grow your assets under management through a successful transition. 📧 Email: brian@vesticor.com 📆 Schedule a Call: Book a time on my Calendly 🌐 Learn More: www.vesticor.com
