Written by Greg Beck, Chief Growth Officer and M&A Advisor at FocalPoint Advisory Services , and Joe Lind, CEO at Dinergy Wealth Management<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In the chaos of an M&A transaction, there\u2019s no shortage of advisors jockeying for a seat at the table\u2014lawyers, CPAs, deal brokers, and sometimes your third cousin who once took a business law class.<\/span><\/p>\n

But you know who\u2019s often left on the sidelines until it\u2019s too late?<\/span><\/p>\n

Your wealth advisor.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s a mistake.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because here\u2019s the truth: the moment a letter of intent is signed, the clock starts ticking on some of the most important financial decisions of your life. You\u2019re about to turn illiquid business equity into cash. And if you haven\u2019t looped in someone who understands\u00a0<\/span>your<\/span><\/i>\u00a0financial goals, you\u2019re flying blind.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve both seen it\u2014owners signing LOIs with no tax strategy, no rollover structure plan, no idea how a seller note fits into their broader financial picture. Then they\u2019re sitting at the closing table asking, \u201cWait\u2026 how much am I actually taking home?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

By then, it\u2019s too late to rework the playbook.<\/span><\/p>\n

The wealth advisor should be involved early\u2014before an offer is ever accepted. Not just to plan for the money, but to influence how the deal gets structured in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joe Lind and I don\u2019t want to just clean up after the fact. We want to help you\u00a0<\/span>shape<\/span><\/i>\u00a0the deal around what matters most: your life, your future, and the legacy you want to build.<\/span><\/p>\n

The wealth advisor isn\u2019t an afterthought. They\u2019re your insurance policy against regret.<\/span><\/p>\n

So don\u2019t treat us like the guy showing up with a broom after the parade. Bring us into the room while the route\u2019s still being mapped.<\/span><\/p>\n

You only sell your business once. Make sure the right people are in the room when it matters most.<\/span><\/p>\n
