Agency Match uses public information and a proprietary scoring model to identify possible business opportunities. Ratings indicate potential, not confirmed interest, unless explicitly noted.

Looking to Buy

Insufficient Evidence

Public signs the agency buys or absorbs other agencies: past acquisitions, growth by acquisition, added offices and the depth to integrate a book.

Why: Public history of 15+ years in business or in the industry

What this rating was based on (1 factor)

Based on public information. Points come from a fixed rubric. The score is a sum of points, not a probability. Confidence is shown separately and does not change the rating.

  1. Public history of 15+ years in business or in the industry (supporting)+5 pts

Total: 5 points → Insufficient Evidence: a rating needs at least two facts including one core factor for this assessment.

Confidence (separate from the rating): not given without a rating · 1 facts from 1 website.

Not known publicly: Whether the agency is buying now and at what size; Financing and integration capacity.

Open to Selling

Acquisition Research Fit

Low · 8

Acquisition Research Fit is low. Formation year 1905 is on a verified record (121 years in operation). The rating stays Low because years in operation and size are a business profile, not a transition. This is not a statement that the agency wants to sell.
