XYPN is committed to providing advisors with the resources they need to launch, build, and grow sustainable fee-only businesses. We do this through a step-by-step process that takes you from filing your initial RIA registration to onboarding your first client to building your ideal financial planning firm.
Throughout launch process, you’ll have access to a team of experts who will guide you through your first year as a firm owner and partner with you to build the business you envision. Prior to registration, you'll work closely with the Compliance team, including the Initial Registration and Laying the Foundation calls.
Once you’ve filed your firm’s initial registration, it’s time to start planning the launch of your firm. Our team will guide you through a month-long Pre-Launch program leading you up to the day your registration is approved.
When your firm registration is complete, it’s time to enroll in this course, and begin to build and grow your business. After completing XYPN’s Launch Your Firm course, you’ll be well on your way to running a profitable and sustainable Financial Planning practice.
