Agency Match assessments

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

Medium · 40

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

Agency Match score: 40/100 · Low confidence: few public facts

Why: Documented acquisition of another agency; public history of 15+ years in business or in the industry

What this rating was based on (2 factors)

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. Documented acquisition of another agency+35 pts
  2. Public history of 15+ years in business or in the industry (supporting)+5 pts

Total: 40 points → Agency Match score 40/100, rated Medium (High at 60+, Medium at 35+).

Confidence (separate from the rating): Low confidence: few public facts · 2 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 1976 is on a verified record (50 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.

Confidence: low. Separate from the rating.

Not on file: Owner tenure is not established; No internal succession document; Confirmed sale interest is unknown.

Confirmed sale interest: Unknown

Mentorship & Peer Connections

Insufficient Evidence

Public signs of industry standing and willingness to share know-how: association leadership, teaching, memberships, recognition and tenure.

Why: Public history of 15+ years in business or in the industry; public history of 30+ years in business or in the industry

What this rating was based on (2 factors)

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)+10 pts
  2. Public history of 30+ years in business or in the industry (supporting)+5 pts

Total: 15 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 · 2 facts from 1 website.

Not known publicly: Whether the principals want to mentor or be mentored.
