Business Opportunities
• The business does not actively engage in marketing activities and has becoming highly selective when considering new clients due to capacity restraints.
• Management have no desire to extend current workloads. The Admin team works four days per week, while the advisors follow a nine-day fortnight schedule.
• Considerable potential to upscale the delivery of share trading activities, which is currently in a more passive position (predominately related to capacity to deliver plus the more cautious and conservative outlook adopted by the directors).
The Business is well suited for the following scenarios:
• Financial Planning practice wanting to diversify from platform based products into SMSF and direct share trading services.
• Accounting practice wanting to expand their SMSF services with additional benefit of adding a financial planning arm to their business, with the advantage/potential in capturing “accounting based” clients from the financial planning business. The Business is regularly requested to provide referral for accounting services, noting their existing accounting connection is facing numerous headwinds.
• Stock Broking business wanting to bring in-house SMSF Administration services and further expand into financial planning industry.
Reason for Sale
Both principals are open to remaining with the business during the transition period, and one of the principals is open to staying with the business to some capacity for up to five years.
Transition
The decision to sell the business arises from the retirement plans of the directors. However, the principal advisor expresses a strong interest in remaining involved in the business and gradually transitioning out of his role over approximately five years.
