Buy or Sell an Insurance Agency

Insurance agencies listed and sold on BizBuySell are small, local businesses that act as intermediaries between insurance companies and their customers, offering guidance on a range of insurance products tailored to meet the needs of individuals, families, and businesses. Their primary role is to help clients identify and assess risks, and then offer suitable insurance coverage options to mitigate those risks.

Insurance agencies listed for sale typically have less than 10 employees, and in some cases include only the book of business to be acquired by an existing agency owner.
