If you’re looking for an insurance agency to purchase this year, our September Sales Alert deserves your full attention. Middle market buyers are finding excellent buying opportunities through the STG network; primarily motivated by the potential for:
- Gaining critical mass to support expenses, contingencies, and commission structures
- Stepping into new geographic markets and gaining new insurance markets
- Opportunities to backfill inherent growth gaps
- Improving efficiency of operations/specialty resources
We are convinced that the most effective means of developing acquisitions involve a multi-level approach. Optimize your rate of development by employing the national platform that STG provides combined with the hard-won local market data that only the client possesses. Springtree Group presents our buyers with results refined through repeated testing of our deal origination tools. Our goal is to reach the 90% of agencies that have not yet openly stated their intention to sell.
We have multiple sources of fresh information, including our in-house research team, the still-burgeoning group of more than 5,000 sell side intermediaries, and opportunities that have become available thanks to broken financing deals that have been exposed directly by our financing division.
We supplement this robust activity with opportunities reported by our network of attorneys, consultants, CPAs, DIOs, PEGs, and bankers. Thanks to this well-rounded and extensive network, STG provides buyers with the broadest possible insight into new purchasing opportunities emerging in the insurance space.
