Brokerage Questions

How is an insurance agency valued in the Midwest?+
Insurance agencies are typically valued at 1.5x to 2.5x annual recurring commissions for P&C books, or 2x to 4x EBITDA for larger agencies with diversified lines and management teams. Retention rate, policy mix, carrier relationships, and geographic concentration all affect the multiple buyers will pay.
How is a financial advisory practice or RIA valued?+
RIAs and financial advisory practices are typically valued at 1.5x to 3x AUM revenue, or 4x to 8x EBITDA for larger, more institutionalized practices. Key value drivers include client demographics, fee structure recurring vs transactional, and whether the practice can operate without the founding advisor.
What regulatory requirements affect the sale of a financial services business?+
Regulatory requirements vary by business type. Insurance agency sales require state insurance department notification and producer license transfer. RIA sales require SEC or state investment adviser registration updates. Broker-dealer transactions involve FINRA change of control approvals. We coordinate all regulatory filings.
How long does it take to sell a financial services business in the Midwest?+
Financial services transactions typically take 6 to 12 months due to regulatory approval timelines and client notification requirements. Proper pre-sale preparation with clean compliance records and organized financials can significantly reduce this timeline.
