Welcome to the second edition of the STG Insurance Agent Sales Alerts for 2017. Our middle market Registered Buyers continue to be enthused about the positive impact to their organizations that buying opportunities present, principally because of four critical motivations:
- To gain critical mass, enhancing commissions and bonuses
- To enter new geographic market areas
- To back-fill organic growth gaps and add insurance markets
- To better utilize operating efficiency / specialty resources
For those interested in buying an insurance agency, our list of potential opportunities comes through our ever-growing group of more than 5,000 sell-side intermediaries, broken financing deals, significant telemarketing activities and STG in-house research. This pipeline is supplemented by our network of consultants, attorneys, CPAs, bankers, DOIs and PEGs, as well as direct contact by sellers. STG provides you with the broadest insight available into new agency buying opportunities in the insurance space.
The process to find and complete a transaction often takes months. So, if buying an insurance agency is in your business plan for 2017, we recommend that you consider starting the procurement process now.
