We had a great experience working with Colby for a valuation of our boutique high-net-worth personal lines agency. These guys are total professionals - their work was detailed, their analysis was thorough and they delivered on all timelines and expectations. I was fortunate to cross paths with Colby for our valuation process and I look forward to working with Colby and their team in the future on additional agency consulting projects. I highly recommend Agency brokerage.

Working with Colby at Agency Brokerage for Fractional CFO services has been a great experience. Each time we meet it's well a balanced conversation on short, medium, and long term goals to make sure I'm investing my time and attention as an agency principal where it matters most. He brings a wide but focused range of experience on agency performance, financials, and owner planning. Colby has quickly become a member of my leadership team.

Frequently Asked Questions About Agency Brokerage Consultants
Why should I use Agency Brokerage to value my agency?
We have multiple, certified business appraisers on staff. Our team has evaluated thousands of insurance agencies and brokerages and has been involved in hundreds of M&A transactions, giving us real insight into the marketplace. We are also the go-to valuation source for some of the industry’s top lenders.
How is the value of my insurance agency determined?
The value of an agency is based on a variety of factors including (1) the quality of the book of business, staff, and systems, (2) the size of the agency, (3) the agency’s organic growth rate, and (4) the pro forma EBITDA. The purpose of the valuation engagement often dictates financial adjustments and the methods that are used. Valuing the agency to determine market value is different from valuing for a shareholder buyout which is different from valuing for an ESOP, etc.
What steps can I take to prepare my insurance agency for sale?
The #1 thing you can do to prepare for the sale of your agency is to work with our team on a valuation of the agency. Through that process, we will be able to help you understand what you should focus on to maximize the value and prepare for your exit.
What is the typical timeframe for selling an insurance agency?
On average, it takes about 90 days to close the sale after going to market.
What is the #1 mistake that agency owners make when selling?
The biggest mistake that sellers make is selling directly to a buyer without going to market and without professional representation. On average, buyers pay 30% percent less for an acquisition by negotiating directly with the agency owner. The sale process typically also takes longer since the buyer controls the speed at which things move.
