SAMPLE LIST of Insurance Agencies for Sale: September 2021

This September 2021, several factors have simultaneously led to continued insurance industry growth. Beneficial legislation, historically low interest rates, and growing numbers of homeowners all contribute to an increased national need for insurance coverage. The average consumer in the United States now owns more assets that need to be insured – this is especially true as more and more millennials take the leap into homeownership.

The M&A market for insurance agencies continues to push upward with the strengthening of multiples, strong activity, and an excellent financial arbitrage by buying, combining, and reselling agencies. The seller’s market for independent agencies is still prevalent and Private Equity continues to be a driver of that strength, with nearly 80% of the larger (over $5MM) reported transactions coming from PE-backed firms.
