Independent Insurance Agency Sales Alert – January 2017

The development work for most transactions typically takes a few months from inception to closing. If buying an insurance agency is in your business plan for 2017, we recommend that you start the procurement process now to complete your acquisition during this calendar year. The listings here are a few the new or repriced independent agencies for sale discovered through our research or provided to us during the last 30 days.

Independent Insurance Agencies for Sale – April 2014

Welcome to the April edition of the STG Insurance Agent and Broker Sales Alerts, listing independent insurance agencies for sale nationwide. The M&A market activity in the segments of our focus has shown strength as we finished the first quarter. The seller’s market continues; however, we have seen mounting evidence that buyers are being very rational with their purchases and overvalued agencies are setting in the market wanting for buyers.

The hard P&C market continues to be with us and we anticipate it to endure for the foreseeable future. The healthcare market is softening from previous levels, however the biggest note is the lack of the feared collapse of the small employee benefits agency sector as a consequence of the ACA that some were predicting.
