Frequently Asked Questions

Insurance Agencies for Sale | Sell an Insurance Agency | Agency Valuation

How is the value of my insurance agency determined?

Each agency is unique, however; there are constant factors in every deal. Valuations are a blend of free cash flow, the mix of revenues (personal lines vs commercial lines) and quality of the revenues (carrier mix, retention and loss ratios). Once we determine the value based on these factors, we compare our findings to debt service ratios and return on investment. We basically look at the deal from a lender/SBA underwriting point of view. If the pricing of the agency works for all the parameters, there is a 99% chance the deal will close!

What documents do you need to determine the value of my insurance agency?

To help you answer the question “what is the value of my insurance agency?”, we need the following:

  • Prior Year Tax Return
  • Year to date Financials
  • If you have an agency management system:
  • Report showing last 12 months commissions by line of business
  • Report showing last 12 months commissions by Carrier
  • Employee Schedule

Is my information kept confidential?

Strictly confidential, we don’t accept information without a Non-Disclosure Agreement signed by both parties!

If I decide to sell what is involved in the process?

We collect your due diligence information.

We contact our clients that are the best fit for your company, they sign a non-disclosure agreement to gain access to your company’s electronic file. Typically, you can expect a contract for review within 2 -weeks from the time we collect your due diligence!

Can I expect to receive all cash for my agency?

In most Private Sale cases, you receive cash at closing. Our lenders will provide the buyer a loan on a 10-year amortization. For Private Equity deals you typically have 80-90% cash up front and the balance in stock.

How long is the typical transaction from start to finish?

Typically, you can expect a contract for review within 2 -weeks from the time we collect your due diligence! The closing process for a Private Sale is an average of 45-60 days and 90-120 days for Private Equity.
