Facilities: Street front retail plaza with parking in front of the building. Has private office for owner-operator. Support/Training: 2 weeks, 30 hours per week.
Market Competition and Expansion:
Competition: Heavy. There's an agency across the street, and there's one that is in the same plaza that's a captive. Tends to get a lot of business from the captive when they can't write the non-standard stuff. The competitor across the street has been there awhile and has not really made a dent into sales. Anecdotally, 2011 #'s are similar to 2010. Growth/Expansion: Seller does a good job as-is, very diverse in terms of lines of coverage and "stickiness" with the clients they have.
