The Transition Process

Support Every Step of The Way

Advisors who join Financial Advocacy Network receive extensive support through every step of the transition process. During the pre-transition process, you can feel confident that your information is  confidential, and completely non-binding.

The online approval process is the first step in the pre-transition work. This process allows LPL Financial to start building out a transition project plan that is personalized for your business. Here are the instructions for taking the first steps to joining our team:

You have now completed the online portion of the process! You will be directed to a page that contains a PDF copy of your paperwork. Please take a moment to print, sign, and return your application along with a copy of your trailing twelve-month production run and a report showing your business mix. Please note: If you are joining an existing OSJ, they will need to sign your Outside Business Activity forms, if applicable. The Transition Services department will contact you to discuss next steps in detail. Thank you!
