Business Description

Sold 'Q2 2017

Once in a generation acquisition target for a large insurance agency or well capitalized private party looking for a long term cash flow / ROI play. Retention rates in the 90's, loss ratios in the 60's across the entire book and all carriers. Heavily concentrated in one carrier with a commission rate of 14.5%, primarily P&C personal auto, with about 10% home and <1% commercial. This is the satellite office of a large agency that grosses $4MM total.

There are two golden geese in this acquisition: 1) This is a cross sellers paradise. Here lies a pool of 6,500+ health insurance cases, life insurance cases, annuities/AUM type targets, commercial accounts/business owners, the sky is the limit. Assuming only 10% penetration you have an additional 600+ customers ACROSS EACH DIVISION!! Maybe more is possible, depends on the acquiring entity. 2) Seller is a master at operations management and extracts an industry best production and net income level on a per employee basis. Sprinkle some of that secret sauce into your organization, and consider how much more profitable would you be if you were running at ~$400k in revenue per staff member??? That IP alone is worth the price, let alone the book of business, future commissions, and cross sale empire to secure.

Opportunity exists to purchase the entire agency for $24MM. NDA is required for comprehensive 22 page Confidential Information Memorandum crafted by Ace Business Brokers.
