Why: Serves more than one state or a wide region; public history of 15+ years in business or in the industry

Acquisition Research Fit
- Owner tenure: Not established
- Agency age: 43 years
Summary: Public information shows an established agency, but no confirmed interest in selling.
Sale interest: Unknown
Confidence: Low
View supporting sources →
Public signs an ownership change could be on the table: a declared sale or merger, an owner retirement or an announced succession plan. A founder still leading after 30+ years is only a weak research clue, not a sign the agency wants to sell. Past sales, restructurings and the agency's own acquisitions do not count here.
Why: Acquisition Research Fit is low. Formation year 1983 is on a verified record (43 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.
