Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How is an insurance agency's book of business valued for buy-sell purposes?

Insurance agency books of business are typically valued at 1.5–2.5 times annual commissions, depending on client retention rates, policy mix, and carrier relationships. Buy-sell agreements should use an agreed valuation formula to avoid disputes and ensure life insurance coverage reflects the current business value.

What licensing considerations affect insurance agency succession planning?

Nevada requires specific licensing for insurance agency ownership and individual producers. A succession plan must ensure qualified licensed personnel can assume ownership and production roles. Life insurance provides the financial bridge while licensing transfers are arranged with the Nevada Division of Insurance.
