Buying a book of business or an RIA practice is a lot harder than one might initially imagine. First, the competition for deals is intense. You are not alone when you are hunting for an advisory business to buy. And second, it takes an enormous amount of time to find the right practice to buy and convince the advisor(s) that you are the best fit for their future.
