Novation

Support your advisors.
Keep the business.

When an advisor retires or a new one is looking to grow, your MGA is the most important player in the room. Novation gives you the tools to make that count — and keep every transition inside your ecosystem.

Every transition is a chance
to strengthen your book.

Advisor succession isn't just a risk to manage — it's one of the biggest growth opportunities an MGA has. The MGAs who get there first keep the business. The ones who don't, lose it to someone else.

01
Retiring advisors need more than a seminar

You can't support a retiring advisor with advice alone. Novation gives them a real marketplace, a real valuation, and a structured path out — all within your MGA.

02
Growing advisors need real opportunity

New and growing advisors want to build their books faster. Give them access to acquisition opportunities inside your network — vetted, structured, and MGA-coordinated.

03
You keep everything in your ecosystem

When succession happens through Novation, it happens through you. The business stays in your network, the relationships stay intact, and you stay in control.

You're in control.
From day one to deal done.

Novation is configured for your MGA. You decide who gets access, who can list, and how involved you want to be at each stage. The tools are simple, the workflow is yours.

  • You control who registers — advisors join through your MGA, not a public signup
  • You vet listings before they go live — nothing moves without your approval
  • You can participate in the deal at any stage — as observer, coordinator, or closer
  • Configurable pipeline stages to match how your MGA actually works
  • All documentation, consent, and transfer tracking in one place
  • Every deal stays inside your ecosystem — no leakage to outside networks

Simple tools. Handled.
Your way.

01
You invite advisors in

Advisors join Novation through your MGA — not a public platform. You control who registers, who can list, and who can browse. It's your network, and it stays that way.

02
You set the rules, they get the tools

Once advisors are in, Novation handles the heavy lifting — valuations, messaging, LOIs, due diligence. You stay involved at whatever level makes sense for your MGA.

03
The business stays with you

Every deal closes inside your ecosystem. Client relationships transfer cleanly, carriers are notified properly, and your MGA comes out stronger — not just intact.
