We welcome you, our STG Buyers, to the first 2020 edition of our Insurance Agency Sales Alerts. Cash reserves have continued to grow as the regulatory climate has relaxed, giving reason for optimism within this year’s insurance M&A sector. The close of 2019 was strong, proving 2019 to be one of the most active insurance M&A years in recent history. This continued upward trend indicates that 2020 will be another highly active year, meaning that there will likely be advantageous deals throughout.
Despite the healthy state of the M&A market, you will be unable to capitalize on this opportunity if you don’t know where to begin. Should you be eager to dip your toe into the waters of the insurance industry market, how would you locate agencies for sale? How will you determine which agencies are a good fit for your goals? This is where Springtree Group steps in to assist. Our team of insurance industry specialists serve the insurance community in this specific capacity.
