Business Description

I know right? 19% commission on new business and
renewals. So awesome.

This contract will be a condition of any closing. Seller is top
producer for this carrier in the Western United States, not
surprisingly. Other appointments include Mercury (recent, less
than $700k premium presently), CSE, Hillstar, Unitrin,
Commerce West, Bristol West, McGraw, Progressive, GMAC,
and Infinity. About $200,000 of total premium is what one
would refer to as preferred clientele. The rest would qualify
as non-standard. Averages $100,000 in Broker fees per year,
about $450,000 in renewal commissions. A lean operation,
Seller is heavily involved from dawn to dusk, regularly present
during every minute of the 9-8 M-F and 9-6 Saturday that the
Company is open. Has two non-licensed CSR, that helps the
Seller run the business. Approximately 5,000 client files, with
a retention rate of 85%, well above industry average. Could
be a little bit more cross-sold, as the book consists of 90%
Auto, 5% Commercial, 5% Home, no Health, no Life. Does
bonding, and writes Mexican Insurance at 35% commissions.
NDA is required for partial due diligence package and to
schedule a personal meeting with the Seller once he
approves your company or your inquiry if you're a private
party.
