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

Low · 30

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: 30/100 · Medium confidence: 3+ public facts

Why: Two or more documented offices; three or more named leaders; public history of 15+ years in business or in the industry

What this rating was based on (3 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. Two or more documented offices+15 pts
  2. Three or more named leaders (supporting)+10 pts
  3. Public history of 15+ years in business or in the industry (supporting)+5 pts

Total: 30 points → Agency Match score 30/100, rated Low (High at 60+, Medium at 35+).

Confidence (separate from the rating): Medium confidence: 3+ public facts · 8 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 · 10

Acquisition Research Fit is low. Formation year 1953 is on a verified record (73 years in operation). Two documented office cities. Market segment A is descriptive context. 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.
