What’s your PurchasingPower™?
PurchasingPower™ is a scoring methodology that gauges the credit worthiness and readiness of a buyer’s ability to acquire another wealth management practice.
Industry publications state there are 50 buyers for every seller in the financial services industry, but we find that not to be the case. Rather, only 4 to 5 buyers for every seller complete the necessary work to acquire. Ultimately, PurchasingPower™ scores provide sellers with increased transparency into a potential buyer's ability to purchase another practice by analyzing over 30 data points.
Some key factors that determine your PurchasingPower™ score:
- Completion of My Practice Profile
- Completion of current valuation from a verified valuation provider
- Banking relationship with a bank who funds advisory loans
- Liquidity for down payment
- Verification from documentation, including:
- Gross Dealer Concession Report
- Valuation
- Model Investment Portfolio
