Welcome to the March 2016 edition of the STG Insurance Agency Sales Alerts. The M&A market activity in the segments of our focus is above average for this time of year. In our observation, the seller’s market for insurance agencies continues and is expected to be part of our lives for some time. Asking multiples in the last 12 months have been trending higher, as well.
In our view and experience, the most effective tactics in deal origination continues to be a multi-level and joint endeavor, using the national approach that STG provides in concert with the “boots on the ground” local market intelligence that only the client has access to. STG provides clients a number of additional tools to help access the 90% of the sellers that are not openly and publicly communicating their intention to sell.
The listings below are a sample of some of the new independent leads developed by our staff, discovered through our research or provided to us during the last 30 days. Upon request, we will provide our Registered Buyer clients access to previous month’s and off cycle listings.
