Established, Profitable, Independent Insurance Agency for Sale
Wildly successful independent insurance agency for sale with minimum 35%+ year over year growth since 2020 focusing on mainly personal auto insurance AND a separate revenue stream (i.e. car registration that makes up 46% of revenue) located next to a DMV.

For those looking for only a book of insurance business to transfer without this additional revenue stream being taken into consideration, this business is not for you and will not value out based on typical insurance agency metrics. With excellent reviews, this agency has managed to sell and secure over 1,700 policies and 3,700+ customers with direct appointments (no aggregator) located in a southwest suburb of Cook County. Please also note there is a decent amount of non-standard policies within the book of business that is being sold, i.e. 25% standard / 75% non-standard. Carriers included, but are not limited to: Progressive, Nationwide, Berkshire Hathaway (Guard), Hartford, First Chicago, and Foremost. It comes with an excellent, affordable office space.
