We hope you and your business had a great second quarter, and that summer is treating you well.
At M&A Services, we are on track to complete the best year in our firm's history.
Earlier this year, our Managing Director, Chris Hughes, discussed "Agency Value to Deal Done – What Every Owner Should Know" in a webinar in partnership with PIA National, breaking down valuation methodologies and walking through the M&A process for insurance distribution businesses. You can watch the replay on our Resources page.
This fall, our team will be attending several of the industry's leading conferences, and we welcome the opportunity to connect in person to discuss current projects, market trends, and your short- and long-term strategic priorities. To schedule a meeting, please contact Vanessa Silva at vsilva@maservices.com.
Over our 28 years in business, we've had the privilege of working with more than 500 insurance companies and agencies across the country and around the world. Our senior-level professionals play an active role in every engagement from start to finish, and because we operate free of the conflicts of interest that can arise at larger institutions, we're able to offer advice that is always independent, impartial, and objective.
Beyond M&A advisory, our team also supports clients with capital raising, valuation services, and agency financing solutions, giving us the range to meet clients wherever they are in their corporate development journey.
None of this would be possible without the caliber of people behind it. Our advisors bring together decades of hands-on experience across insurance, reinsurance, and investment banking, and they take genuine pride in treating every client relationship with the care and attention it deserves. That level of personal, white-glove service is something we never take for granted, and it's a big part of what keeps clients coming back to us, deal after deal.
We look forward to the opportunity to assist with your corporate development goals.
Sincerely,
Jason C. Murgio, CEO
