At RBC Wealth Management, our Investment banking solutions include an array of high-level advisory services, long-term wealth planning strategies, and knowledge of administration, compliance and regulations that can help you make the most of your opportunities.

Succession and exit planning solutions

Business ownership usually represents decades of hard work with strategy and research to make your company successful. Often, business owners are unfamiliar with the complexities and the process of a successful succession strategy. Whether you are planning to transfer your business to family members, current management or an outside party, there are decisions to make and issues to address.

RBC Wealth Management is dedicated to serving business owners with customized advice on how to best achieve their goals and objectives. We have a successful track record working with private companies on evaluating a full range of strategic alternatives, including buy- and sell-side advisory, recapitalization and other corporate finance advisory solutions. We use a methodical approach to help you develop and execute your exit/ transition planning strategy while utilizing a WealthPlan to determine if the sale of your business would be able to support your desired lifestyle and achieve your financial goals.
