Is it difficult to break into the financial advising business?
All businesses have risk, including financial advising practices. Securian provides a strong roadmap for a predictable and profitable start. By partnering with your local firm, we offer the financing and support you need to succeed.
Do I have to call all my family and friends?
Your business will be built on relationships. It makes sense to initially reach out to people you know and trust. But leveraging your acquaintances is not the only way to find clients. Securian provides multiple methods to help you get your business up and running.
Is it straight commission?
No, we partner with your local firm to invest in your business from the beginning. To help you build a strong foundation, in the first six months you are primarily compensated for completion of specific activities necessary to succeed as a financial advisor.
How can I expect to be a financial advising expert?
Securian expects you to bring a strong work ethic, a professional attitude and great communication skills – not financial expertise. With comprehensive training and licensing, you’ll launch your business prepared to help clients achieve financial security.
You'll inspire families and businesses to achieve financial security.
You'll provide financial solutions, including insurance products for risk protection and investment products for growth potential.

Securian compensates and recognizes you for all the financial services you provide. This gives you a direct incentive to grow your business – without a mandate to sell a particular product or service. It also allows you to find the best solutions for your clients.
New clients
When you sell products and services to new clients, you earn compensation in exchange for your expertise. As you service and retain these clients, recurring revenue and cross selling opportunities become available.
Existing clients
Over time, existing clients become your main source of income. Financial advisors earn income from existing clients through:
- Recurring revenue
As a trusted advisor, you’ll retain clients over the years. When your clients keep the products and services you’ve sold, you’ll earn income annually. - Cross selling
Your current clients will likely have additional and changing financial needs. By being their primary financial advisor and providing multiple financial solutions, you can earn additional income.
