Radar Results - helping you find that planning business
We help planners expand their practices by acquisition
Radar Results is engaged by the buyer, not the seller. Our model is like a buyer’s advocate, essentially, we are consultants to the buyer.
Radar Results process - we use a three stage acquisition model:
1. Planning and profiling
Once a buyer signs an Acquisition Agreement, we then jointly formulate a Plan, a detailed document describing the buyer’s existing operation, and defining the business they want to acquire.
2. Market research and matching
Now that we know the value of the business you’re after and what it looks like, we can enter our various databases and the wider market place to begin the short listing process. Currently Radar Results has over 10,500 financial planners in its database covering every region and capital in Australia. We provide an online free business valuation service to sellers allowing them to access our buyers for matching. Sellers are not charged, a reason why 108 sellers contacted us last year.
3. Negotiation and settlement
This is a crucial part of the process. The needs of both buyer and seller must be met, and it is vital that the contractual documentation accurately reflects the negotiated settlement terms. Ensuring these things take place can be a real challenge; it’s where our role is critical.
While making the decision to pursue this type of business expansion strategy seems relatively easy, identifying and qualifying potential acquisition prospects can be more difficult. Professional facilitation is a must.
A buyer pays Radar Results a once only flat professional fee to establish themselves as a Client. Then on each purchase, a percentage settlement fee is paid. Please take a few minutes to review our fee structure.
We would welcome the opportunity to take our discussions to the next stage. If you have any queries please talk to John Birt on 02 4384 5670 or by email
