Optimize Profitability and Value

At Barton, Walter & Krier, we understand the value of creating a stable succession plan when it’s time to sell your firm or book of business. Considerations such as existing staff, client relationships, and price and valuation of the firm play a vital role in determining when and to whom to sell your business.

We do our due diligence when considering the acquisition of an existing firm, taking into account the firm’s size, value, and caliber of existing clients. Our acquisition process is rigorous based on marketing, valuation, negotiation, pricing, and legal requirements for structuring the transaction.

Before acquiring an existing firm, we consider the following:

  • Type and caliber of clients served
  • Existing fee structures
  • Previous financials
  • Potential for growth
  • Strength of performance and team
  • Competition

If you are interested in selling your firm or book of business, contact us to start the conversation.
