Independent Agencies Sales Alert – April 2019 Edition

If you are a current insurance agency owner interested in growth, you’ve probably been weighing your options. Adopting a strategy of growth via acquisition of an outside agency will give you a high chance of success. For those agency owners who have never conducted an M&A process before, finding the right insurance agency can be challenging.

Where can I find a list of agencies for sale?

Due to the sensitive nature of insurance agency sales, it is common practice for agencies to never be listed publicly. Statistics show that up to 90% of agencies are hidden from the public in order to avoid causing concern among employees, clients and insurance carriers about an upcoming transfer of ownership.

If you’re having trouble finding an insurance agency to purchase, we’ve got you covered. Each month, we share Sales Alert posts right here on our website. As the largest U.S. business broker (intermediary) specializing in the insurance space (under $5MM), Springtree Group is laser focused on matching buyers with the perfect agency. Our outreach team spends 100% of their time seeking out insurance agencies that are preparing to or have just gone onto the market. Even if their listing is “hidden,” we will know about it.

In addition to our Sales Alert highlight posts, we are in possession at all times of an exhaustive list of a multitude of insurance agencies for sale all across the United States. Upon request, we will provide Registered Buyers with access to our full list of agencies for sale.
