Independent Insurance Agency Valuation
Get your free valuation
No obligation • Confidential • Maximize your sale value
Thinking about selling your insurance agency? Start with a free, confidential valuation from Pacific Crest Services. We’re active buyers of independent P&C agencies, and our process gives you a clear, defensible picture of what your business is worth in today’s market—so you can move forward with confidence when the time is right.
Why an accurate valuation matters
Most sellers rely on rough multiples, but that approach often leaves money on the table:
- Rule-of-thumb multiples (2–3x revenue or 6–9x EBITDA) ignore critical factors.
- Quick estimates can be off by 20% or more from true market value.
- Without proper valuation, owners risk underselling a lifetime of work.
We take a buyer’s lens to highlight your agency’s strengths, surface risks, and outline opportunities that impact your sale price—so you’re positioned for the strongest possible offer.
What drives agency value
We focus on the same factors serious acquirers evaluate:
Here's what we evaluate:
- Book quality & retention: PIF mix, loss ratios, client retention.
- Carrier relationships: Appointment depth, production history, contingencies.
- Revenue durability: Personal vs. commercial mix, cross-sell, account rounding.
- Operations & data hygiene: AMS data accuracy (e.g., HawkSoft), workflows, automation.
- Growth profile: New business trends, pipeline, producer capacity.
- Customer concentration: Balance of accounts, top-client exposure.
- Contracts & obligations: Producer agreements, expirations, referral contracts.
- Market dynamics: Geography, competition, rate environment, and active buyer demand.
