**NEW LISTINGS** Insurance Agencies for Sale

As we were preparing this month’s Insurance Agency Sales Alert publication, we took note that our middle market buyers are currently motivated to make a purchase by one or more of the following factors:

  • The need to leverage expenses, commission structures and contingencies
  • Aspirations to enter new geographic locations where they can gain new insurance markets
  • A desire to back fill organic growth gaps
  • To make better use of operating efficiencies and/or specialty resources

The most effective acquisition target development strategy will be a multi-level endeavor, using the tried and true approach that we provide combined with the local market intelligence provided by the client.
