Your business is likely one of your biggest and most important assets.

  • Guaranteed annual valuations of your business

Protect the people that matter to you, right away.

The future of your practice affects the futures of your loved ones and those that depend upon you and your business. No one enjoys planning for events that involve unfortunate circumstances—which may account for why 70% of financial professional do not have a current succession plan in place**. But the reality is that the unexpected and unanticipated can happen at any time. The decisions you choose to make now will have an enormous impact on how those that matter most navigate a future in your absence.

Imagine knowing that, if something were to happen to you, your family would receive a financial safety net. That’s what LPL’s Assurance Plan offers. As soon as LPL is notified of your death or permanent disability, the plan goes into action with an upfront payout to beneficiaries valued at 1.5x recurring business revenue. We will deliver any additional proceeds to beneficiaries as well, following close of sale of your business.
