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 documents are needed for a business valuation?

Documents required for a business valuation typically include financial statements (income statements and balance sheets), internal production reports, carrier reports, and employee data, to list a few key items. We will typically need 3 to 5 years of data.

What factors are taken into account when valuing an agency?

After reviewing the data that is provided and having a discussion with agency management, we evaluate such factors as the agency’s (1) history, (2) location, (3) growth strategies and opportunities, (4) data and management systems, (5) employees and producers, and (6) concentration of business with carriers, customers, and lines of business.
