Build trust and loyalty with satisfied clients.
Our model is designed to allow you to focus on clients. That means you can put your clients' interests first while offering them low costs and transparent pricing, multiple ways to work with you, a wide range of investment options, and Schwab’s Satisfaction Guarantee.*
Earn on every client asset and share expenses to lower costs.
Our revenue sharing is straightforward and transparent. You earn on every existing asset, every new asset, and every new funded account that's associated with your branch. Schwab also offsets some of the costs of starting your branch and continues to support your growth efforts through initiatives like our marketing reimbursement program.
Stay relevant and ahead of trends while attracting diverse clients.
Whether investors want a more traditional approach to wealth management or access to robo-advice and digital platforms, our combination of technology, tools, and transparent pricing allows franchise owners to work with clients of differing needs, preferences, and life stages.
Turn to Schwab for support whenever you need it.
A Schwab franchise comes with access to our extensive network of support, from investment product specialists and 24/7 client service support, to wealth management consultants and your own local marketing consultant. It's all designed to help you focus on what you do best: serve your clients.
