// HOW AN OWNER CHOOSES AN ADVISOR

An owner thinking about a sale reads for a long time before calling anyone, and the call that follows is usually a referral from an attorney, an accountant, or a wealth manager. Search fits at both ends. The search results an owner sees while reading build familiarity, and the same results confirm the referred name when the call comes.

The long research phase

Owners read about readiness, valuation drivers, and timelines for a long time before they speak to an advisor.

  • → What does a buyer look at?
  • → How long does a sale take?

The referral

An attorney, CPA, or wealth manager suggests the firm. The owner looks the firm up before the first call.

  • → Who runs the firm?
  • → How does an engagement work?

The broker-versus-advisor question

Owners ask what each does and how each is paid. A page that answers it plainly earns the next read.

The credibility check

Advisor profiles, registrations as held, and a clear process give a referred owner something to verify.
