Frequently Asked Questions
How is a pet insurance agency's book of business valued for buy-sell purposes?
Pet insurance agency books are typically valued similarly to other P&C insurance agencies — at 1.5–2.5 times annual commissions, adjusted for retention rates and carrier diversification. Life insurance-funded buy-sell agreements ensure the surviving partner has capital to acquire the full book without external financing.
Do pet insurance agencies have special licensing requirements affecting succession?
Yes. Nevada requires property and casualty insurance licensing for pet insurance sales. A succession plan must ensure qualified licensed agents can assume ownership and production roles, with proper notification to carriers and the Nevada Division of Insurance.
