How Much Is Your Florida Insurance Business Worth?

A question on the top of every business owner’s mind is, “how much is my business worth?”

With season end approaching, I thought this would be a good time to update you on insurance business sales throughout Florida and give you some data regarding sales and pricing. Here are some numbers for you to ponder:


  • 20 = the number of insurance businesses sold in the last twelve months by the Business Broker of Florida Association members. 

  • $205,031 = the average revenue of the 20 sold insurance businesses. 

  • $240,984 = the average sold price of the 20 sold insurance businesses.

  • $72,109= the average owner benefit generated in each sold insurance business. 

  • 1.409 = the revenue multiple (sold price divided by revenue) of the 20 sold insurance businesses.

  • 3.244 = the owner benefit multiple (sold price divided by owner benefit) of the 20 sold insurance businesses. 

  • 86% = the average percentage down payment of the 20 sold insurance businesses. 

  • 126 = the average number of days on the market of the 20 sold insurance businesses.
  • What does this mean?

    Insurance businesses are in high demand. And, in spite of a more conservative and cash strapped buying clientele, they are still paying near historical multiples with a percent down not realized in many other industries. If you have been contemplating selling your insurance business, now is a great time! Please contact me for a no obligation discussion.
