Summary: As the principal of a $300mm practice with one of the largest independent broker dealers (IBDs) in the country, “Alan” was feeling that his business had reached a plateau. Oddly enough, this isn’t the first time he’s felt this way. Some 16 years ago, Alan made his initial move to independence by joining a small regional independent broker dealer. After 12 years, he had grown to be the biggest practice there, yet felt constricted by outdated technology, limited platform and a lack of community.

Summary: Hardly a conversation with an advisor goes by without discussing the desire to go independent. Having heard a lot about it – the freedom, flexibility, better take-home pay and the ability to build a true enterprise – many are sure that independence is for them.
