Program Administrator Town Hall

Insurance Industry M&A and the Implications for your Business

Tuesday, May 7 | 2:00 PM

 

Insurance Agencies, MGAs and Program Administrators are very attractive acquisition targets due to their healthy profit margins, strong cash flow and high levels of recurring revenue.  This makes these entities natural targets for Private Equity, Large Public Brokers, Private Buyers and Carriers looking to deploy capital, add products and distribution and improve their return on investment.  Each of these buyer types will have a different approach and impacts on your business whether you are looking to sell or take on an investment partner.  
 
This PA Town Hall presentation features a panel of experts representing each of these buyer types/investors to discuss their appetite, how they approach and structure their deals, their post-transaction operating structure and more.  Plan to attend to learn more about the world of insurance M&A and direct your questions to the panelists.
