Independent Insurance Agencies for Sale: Sample List, February 2021

Organic growth of your insurance agency is definitely possible, but the potential for growth via acquisitions can mean a growth explosion. Buyers are excited about the opportunities in the insurance industry that continue to abound because they know the value in agency acquisition as a growth strategy. Some of the main motivations for purchasing another agency include:

  1. Gaining “critical mass,” which leads to bigger commissions and bonuses;
  2. Expansion into additional geographic regions and new markets;
  3. Filling gaps found in their growth plan;
  4. Improved utilization of resources leading to better operating efficiency.

A huge percentage of insurance agencies for sale never get publicly announced due to confidentiality requirements. Potential buyers and agency owners who want to grow via acquisition can get frustrated when there appear to be very few agencies that are actually available for purchase. WHEN YOU WORK WITH SPRINGTREE, YOU’RE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHEN AN AGENCY BECOMES AVAILABLE FOR ACQUISITION.

If growth through acquisition is part of your 2021 business plan, it’s in your best interest to begin the process ASAP. While agency acquisition is a surefire way to speedily boost your business, the due diligence required on both ends means an acquisition can take months. Keep in mind that the current limitations imposed on us due to the pandemic means that every transaction takes a bit longer than under “normal” circumstances.

Pandemic or not: THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY IS BOOMING!
