Using a consultative process, the advisor gleans information about the client’s wants and specific situation, then tailors a personalized strategy that uses a range of financial products and services.

In a great many cases, these premises are in error resulting in “bad feelings” and the sellers failing to obtain all the monies they expected. For example, there is regularly the belief that the sellers will grow their practices for a period of time even when they were apparently not able to do so before the sale.
