Who refers to Freedom for Founders

If someone in your network owns a business, the exit conversation is coming. Here's how a referral fits your practice.

Accountants & CPAs
You have the financials. We handle the transaction.
An exit is one of the most tax-sensitive events your client will face. We manage the deal structure. You stay at the center of the financial outcome. Your relationship and your client's net position are both protected. Referral fee is documented before we engage.
Structured. Documented. No surprises at close.
Lawyers & Legal Professionals
Deals built right from the start close faster and cleaner.
Most transactions that fail do so in due diligence. Referring to FFF means legal counsel is engaged early, before problems surface. You're involved when it matters, not brought in to repair damage after the fact.
In at the right stage. Not called in after the fact.
Financial Advisors & Wealth Managers
The exit is the wealth event. Be positioned for it.
For most business owners, the sale is the largest asset conversion they will ever make. Advisors who are part of the process are positioned to manage what follows. Those who aren't tend to find out after the wire has cleared.
Be in the room before the liquidity event closes.
Coaches, Peers & Trusted Circle
You helped them build it. Make sure they don't undersell it.
Coaches, fellow founders, colleagues, friends, family. If someone trusts you and is thinking about what's next, a warm intro is one of the most valuable things you can offer them. You don't need to know the details. Just make the connection. We handle everything from there.
One intro. Up to 10% of our fee when the deal closes.
