Business Models
The practice you’ve always wanted is waiting for you – all you have to do is make a choice. And with Raymond James, you’ll choose from a complete range of flexible, fully supported affiliation and payout options. We call it AdvisorChoice®, and it offers you five unique ways to build your business, and as your goals and needs change, you’re free to make the choice to move to another model.
In addition to the freedom to choose, you can expect complete control of your practice and ownership of your own book of business.* And if you’re not quite sure where you fall along our business model spectrum, we’re here to help you find your perfect fit.
If you’re new to the industry, our comprehensive paid trainee program can give you the foundation to define your professional style and build a successful career. And if you’re simply undecided after surveying your options, a member of our recruiting team will be happy to help you dig deeper.
