SAN DIEGO, Feb. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC, a leader in the wealth management industry, is expanding its portfolio of high-net-worth services with the launch of business planning tools designed to help its network of nearly 29,000 financial advisors provide personalized support to their clients who are Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and/or have founded their own businesses.

There are more than 33 millionⁱ small businesses in the U.S., and more than halfⁱⁱ of all private employer business owners are over the age of 55. Additionally, it’s estimated that approximately 12 millionⁱⁱⁱ of those firms will be sold over the next decade, and most small business owners do not have a succession plan in place.

Through this new offering, advisors are connected with a certified business exit planner who supports the business owner’s needs and serves as a liaison to vetted banking partners. This full-service experience is designed to meet the discerning needs of advisors and differentiate the value they provide to their entrepreneurial clients.

“CEOs and founders have worked incredibly hard to build their businesses and deserve the highest caliber of planning and advice,” said Jen Hollers, senior vice president and head of high-net-worth services at LPL Financial. “Through relationships with trusted investment banks, we enable LPL advisors to offer their business-owner clients a full-service experience, helping them strategize, scale, and, when the time is right, pursue an optimized sale.”
