How To Grow Your Financial Advisory Business By Helping Business Owners Sell Theirs

Tim Vorhoff, Vice President of CreoValo joins Mike Langford for an exploration of a growth strategy that many financial advisors are ignoring: helping private business owners sell their businesses to unlock their tied-up value. The conversation explores the opportunity for financial advisors to partner with investment banks to assist business owners in selling their companies. They discuss the scale of the opportunity, the average value of small businesses, and the importance of having conversations with business owner clients about their future plans for their businesses.
