Choose the business model that's right for you

At Ameriprise Financial, we recognize that one size doesn't fit all. That's why we offer several distinct business models that enable you to build the practice you want, aligned with your goals and your vision. 

As you determine the structure of your practice at Ameriprise, you can consider going solo — or joining a team practice. 

• Teaming — Benefit from the support and knowledge of a broad-based group of successful advisors 
• Sole practitioner — Leverage local leadership and a comprehensive corporate office committed to your growth

No matter which business model you choose, you'll be backed by a strong, ethical company that puts advisors and clients first.
