Testimonial

Ladd Bratcher

President

Greg and Amanda Hicks have assembled a team of professionals with a turnkey process. They walk you through the complicated details of the purchase or sell of an agency. I have endorsed Insurance Merger Specialists , LLC for my network of agencies. I highly recommend you give them a call.

Steve Kauger

CEO

My agency may not be the biggest, but when it came to selling, I was not sure how to handle it. Greg and Amanda made the process very simple for me. Their partner accountants helped me with getting my financials in order and helped with the allocation of assets for my tax benefit. I had spoken with another broker in the past, but when I spoke with Greg, I knew he was going to be able to help me. In fact, I still speak with him today and refer anyone I know to Insurance Merger Specialists.

I'm not sure how anyone can buy or sell an agency without having people like Greg, Amanda and Jeff involved.

Buying or selling an agency of any size is very complex.  Greg and Amanda made the process as painless as possible.  Their in depth knowledge and experience of the insurance agency business model greatly helped both myself and the Seller. I won't do another deal without these guys.

How We Help Buyers

Facilitating Your Deal

Our upfront data collecting, compiling into format help gives peace of mind that you are making the right decision on purchasing. Our complete pitchbook gives a detailed summary of the agency you are considering purchasing. This upfront work saves time and helps to move through the due diligence phase of purchase.

Preferred Lenders

We help put your complete loan package together which ensures compliance to lenders guidelines. The financing can be the most difficult part of closing an M & A transaction. Our understanding of the loan programs and guidelines helps to ensure you receive the best rate, terms, and fee structure for your acquisition.

M & A Trained Accountants

Our M & A Accountant partners are the best in the business. We work together as a team for both buyer and seller in making sure the transaction obtains maximum value and lender approval. Our deals typically close in half the time with fewer issues and stress than our competitors. The accountant fees are part of IMS consulting fee.

Due Diligence

Due diligence is an important process to verify the information provided by the sellers. We supply a standardized due diligence checklist for guidance.

Closings & Escrows

We work closely with attorneys to close the transaction according to the contract requirements, handle the escrows and closing funds in accordance of the contract. It is always a good idea and recommended to have buyer and seller’s personal attorney and CPA to review contracts prior to signing.

Now is the time to make a move

Today’s environment of growing through acquisition has been created through the ease of access of capital and low interest rates. This environment will not last forever as interest rates increase over time valuations will drop and fewer buyers will exist. This market has created a perfect storm for obtaining the highest multiple for your agency.
