    The goal of this course is to provide an overview of the state of the independent insurance industry and how independent agencies will be impacted by the market, economy, and M&A environment.

    • Identify Market Trends and what impact they may have on the agency’s business
    • Understand historic and recent M&A deal activity and how the current environment impacts internal vs. external options
    • Explore various aspects of agency valuation and how to have a positive impact on your agency’s value
    • Discuss Internal Perpetuation, Merger/Acquisition and other options to prepare for the agency’s future

    Insurance Agency Value Creator - For the last 14 years I have worked with Independent Insurance Agency Owners to help them answer four questions: Where are you today? Where are you taking the firm? How will you get there? What roadblocks or obstacles stand in your way? Through this consultative approach I collaborate with current and future Platform Partners on how to best be a resource through business development and mergers and acquisitions.
