New Insurance Listings

Are you struggling to find an agency in your preferred location, commission range or product line? In Florida 's competitive agency market, finding an agency that meets your criteria can be a time-consuming and demanding process.

Save time and frustration by engaging Florida Business Exchange to perform an acquisition search for your next agency. Our contractual buyer-side services include:

•  Gathering, analyzing and assessing your acquisition criteria
•  Developing potential target lists
•  Contacting & screening potential acquisition candidates
•  Facilitating the exchange of information between parties
•  Assisting in purchase offers, contracts and deadlines, as necessary
•  Suggesting professionals for legal, tax and/or technical matters
•  Introducing funding partners

When you engage us to perform a buyer search, we go beyond the agencies actively listed for sale. We speak with owners who are hesitant to make the sale of their agency public knowledge. Confidentiality is important to these ‘silent' owners who are intent on protecting their producers, customer service reps, carrier appointments and clients.

With many more agencies available for sale than are listed on public web sites, your chances of finding a suitable agency increase when you engage us for buyer-side representation.

Engaging a broker means paying a fee, right? While the broker fee is typically “paid by the seller”, the buyer is actually paying this fee as a hidden cost in the purchase price. With buyer-side representation, you will pay the same dollar amount that you would have paid as part of the purchase price. And, if the seller agrees to pay the commission, your retainer fee will be credited at closing.

So, save time and frustration, reach silent sellers and find the agency you seek. Call us at (904) 451-7604 to discuss finding your next agency.
