Welcome to the April 2013 edition of the Insurance Agent and Broker Sales Alerts. Activity for this time of year is average and increasing. The earlier buyer concerns created by the anticipated capital gains tax changes and the governmental involvement in the healthcare system have lessened.

Obtaining access to sellers directly can be a challenge, because they rarely are willing to make their intention to sell public. Doing so can negatively impact their insurance carriers (markets), employees, clients and the competition. As reported by our strategic partner Marsh Berry, only 10 percent of all deals in the $1M range are publicly known.
The most effective tactic in acquisition target development is a multi-level and joint endeavor, using the national approach that Springtree Group (STG) provides in concert with the “boots on the ground” local market intelligence to which only the client has access.
Being associated with STG provides you access to the strongest array of M&A and financial tools and services available to support your acquisition, perpetuation and operational needs in any part of the U.S. Please call (972) 395-8811 for additional information on our services, including agency financing programs, and new buying and selling opportunities.
