As the year winds down, we are pleased to report that our ever-growing group of nearly 5,000 business intermediaries has provided us with a fresh crop of seller leads from independent insurance agencies and brokerages throughout North America (including Canada). As reported by our strategic partners Marsh Berry, only 10% of all deals in the $1M range are publicly known. These issues also impact our ability to openly communicate leads, even on a double blind basis. The listings below are just a small sample of some of the new independents provided to us during the previous month. For full details, please call Springtree Group at (972) 395-8811 or contact us online.
