Independent Insurance Agency Sales Alert – June 2020

Now that we are approaching this year’s halfway point, we have been able to examine the M&A activity 2020 has seen thus far. We are pleased to report that in the insurance industry, mergers and acquisitions have continued with hardly a misstep. Because other market sectors have taken heavy financial losses during this difficult year and the financial landscape may not recover in the near future, informed buyers and sellers have been contemplating which moves will best position them for success.

Once through the pandemic, the lending world will almost certainly be more competitive. Thanks to the FED, expect financing to be competitive. Springtree Group buyers, however, needn’t worry; our SBA 7a loan package will make you eligible to snag the FED’s offer to pay 6 months of payments for SBA consumers.

Make no mistake: this is a once-in-a-lifetime incentive, and as such, this bargain will only be offered to buyers who are prepared to get a deal into the pipeline ASAP. If you are one of our buyers, we respectfully request that you contact us without delay. We urge you to take advantage of this windfall before the opportunity has vanished.
