Current Industry Problem

Insurance agency owners and labor force are reaching retirement age and millennials & young professionals are not drawn into this business. Forcing agency owners only one option for perpetuation at retirement age… Sell to an agency aggregator/global brokerage.
Often in these transactions the only winner is the acquiring firm. Client relationships almost always suffer through these transitions and are more likely to put a broker in review when that relationship is not maintained the way it has been for years with prior leadership. The average age for insurance executives in the US is 59 years old, these global firms aren’t investing in developing the next generation of insurance professionals due to upfront costs. These firms are focused on high profit margins at all cost. Because of this, the insurance labor force is stagnant.
