Profitable & Independent Insurance Agency

Not Disclosed, IL
Cook County

Wildly successful independent insurance agency for sale with minimum 35% year over year growth since 2020 focusing on mainly personal auto insurance AND a separate revenue stream (i.e. car registration that makes up 46% of revenue) located next to a DMV. We repeat that almost 50% of the revenue of this business comes from car registration sales. For those looking for only a book of insurance business to transfer without this additional revenue stream being taken into consideration, this business is not for you and will not value out based on typical insurance agency metrics. With excellent reviews, this agency has managed to sell and secure over 1,700 policies and 3,700 customers with direct appointments (no aggregator) located in a southwest suburb of Cook County. Please also note there is a decent amount of non-standard policies within the book of business that is being sold, i.e. 25% standard / 75% non-standard. Carriers included, but are not limited to: Progressive, Nationwide, Berkshire Hathaway (Guard), Hartford, First Chicago, and Foremost. It comes with an excellent, affordable office space. Word of mouth has been their only source of growth so there is still tremendous room to grow with marketing. 2025 gross revenue was over $750k with $370k in SDE. Speaking Arabic would be an absolute plus, but not necessary based on the clientele and location of the agency. This an excellent tack on for a buyer that already has an agency and/or it can be rebranded as needed. The seller's preferences would be a buyer that already knows the insurance industry, but it can also serve as a massive head start for someone trying to break into the insurance industry.
