Look at some of the situations for which we find solutions.
- My Advisory practice has grown to the point where it would make sense to lower our administrative expenses, so I need a firm that offers value on their Advisory wrap platforms.
- Our current firm is very restrictive on Alternative Investments. We need a firm that is not only broad based on these types of investments, but also open to adding additional product.
- Most of our clients are institutional, so we need a firm that has quality block trading on stocks, not charging cents per share on stock ticket charges and has the ability to do DVP accounts.
- Our business is at a point where we need help from a broker/dealer in running our office more efficiently, help with our business/marketing plans and a back office that has technology that will save us more time.
- My partner and I are interested in doing our Advisory through TD Ameritrade but our broker/dealer is not open to outside firms and won't let us have our own RIA.
- I'm by myself feeling like an island. It would be nice to be part of a group that has some sales synergy and could help me out with my marketing.
- I've always wanted to go independent, but my wife has a poor medical history so the cost of self insuring would be huge.
- It feels like I'll never find a broker/dealer that will take me because I have three marks on my compliance history.
- Our group has grown to several million dollars of gross dealer concession, yet having that amount of production doesn't seem to bring any additional leverage from our broker/dealer in the form of higher payout or marketing and recruiting support.
- My business has grown to the point that I'm interested in exploring "Roll Up" opportunities where I can get three to five times cash flow for my practice and either phase out in a few years or continue my practice long term, continuing to grow with the help of the firm I partner with.
- I'm doing mostly advisory now, but still want to do some commissionable products. I need a broker/dealer that will take little if any hair cut off my advisory portion and allow me to just do my commission portion through them.
After three decades in the financial services business, I had built up an abundant supply of cynicism regarding recruiters. My needs were a bit unusual and demanding. Jon was mentioned as someone who really knew our industry and would personally pursue firms that otherwise might not be commonly known by advisors. His advice was taken and I could not be more pleased. I say with confidence that I would have gone to a lesser firm had I not had discussions with Henschen & Associates.

When my partner and I started looking for a new independent broker/dealer, I contacted Henschen & Associates. In just a few days, they were able to research the broker/dealers that met our parameters and gave us honest, up-front answers to our questions. Henschen & Associates gave us information that would have taken my partner and me several weeks to gather, while allowing us to stay focused on our business.
