ABBI-Accredited Business Brokerage | An Equity Growth Partners Portfolio Company
Referral Partners

Apex partners with attorneys, CPAs, wealth managers, and advisors whose clients are planning transitions.

Referring professionals refer their clients to Apex for sell-side, buy-side, and valuation engagements. We compensate referring professionals in accordance with ABBI guidelines and each professional's own applicable rules. Introduce yourself below.

Who Apex works with

  • M&A and corporate attorneys whose clients need transaction execution beyond legal representation
  • Estate and succession attorneys supporting owners planning eventual exits
  • CPAs and tax advisors serving owners approaching retirement or considering unsolicited offers
  • Wealth managers and financial advisors with clients whose business represents the majority of their net worth
  • Commercial bankers and SBA lenders whose clients are buying or selling businesses
  • Insurance advisors supporting key-person and buy-sell insurance contexts
  • Exit planners handing off transaction execution after strategy engagements
  • Business coaches and consultants with clients making the sell-or-scale decision

How Apex works with referring professionals

Referral relationships are structured in accordance with ABBI guidelines and each profession's own applicable rules. Attorneys respect model rule restrictions on fee-sharing. Financial advisors respect FINRA and fiduciary obligations. CPAs respect AICPA conduct rules. Compensation structures are discussed during the initial partnership conversation, not on a public form.

Apex principals maintain peer-to-peer contact with referring professionals. Referring partners are not enrolled in retail marketing sequences and never receive the same emails as prospect leads.

Referral Partner Application

Introduce yourself. A principal will reach out within one business day.

Peer-to-Peer

A principal, not a coordinator, handles the follow-up.

Referral relationships require principal-level contact. Alie or another Apex principal will reach out personally to introduce the team and discuss how we typically work with referring professionals.

  • Personal principal introduction, not templated outreach
  • Discussion of engagement structure and referral protocol
  • Compliance-conscious approach for regulated professions
