RIA Compliance Technology has released a new step-by-step guide for advisors launching a registered investment advisory firm, covering compliance setup, regulatory registration, and technology selection from day one.
-- RIA Compliance Technology has released a guide for financial advisors who are in the process of launching, or planning to launch, their own registered investment advisory firm. Titled "Building an RIA from the Ground Up," the resource outlines a five-step framework covering everything from defining a business model to staying prepared for ongoing regulatory examinations.

Having worked with more than 400 RIAs and broker-dealers since its founding in 2017, RIA Compliance Technology developed the guide in response to a pattern it consistently observes among new firms: advisors who understand portfolio management and client service but are caught off guard by the complexity of the compliance infrastructure required to operate legally and sustainably.
Industry research underscores the challenge. According to a study by Natixis Investment Managers, advisors spend just 35% to 43% of their time on client-facing work, with planning, compliance, and administration accounting for the remainder. For new firms without dedicated compliance staff, that imbalance can significantly slow growth in the critical early stages.
The guide addresses five key stages of the RIA launch process: defining the business model and service offering, navigating Form ADV registration with the SEC or state regulator, establishing written compliance policies and procedures, building a technology stack that supports ongoing oversight, and preparing for regulatory examinations from day one.
"Starting your own RIA is one of the most empowering moves a financial advisor can make, but it's also one of the most regulated," a company spokesperson explains. "Our goal with this guide is to give new firms a realistic, practical roadmap — so they can focus on building their business with the right tools while staying on the right side of their obligations."
