Planning to sell your broker or looking for an attractive exit strategy?​

The Needham Group provide excellent solutions

community broking at the heart of our strategy

Making a decision to sell, whether in whole or in part, can be a difficult process. Lots of brokers that we speak to have spent many years building up their business and wish to see their legacy, brand, staff and premises intact post-sale. 

Some owners wish to stay on post-sale to ensure a smooth transition for their business and key clients who they have looked after over the years.

At The Needham Group, we have community broking at the heart of our strategy. We have acquired a number of insurance brokers in our 6 years history and seeking further acquisitions into the group to complement our organic growth of circa 30% per annum.

It is extremely useful to know your plans even if they are some months or years away, so we can carefully plan our acquisition pipeline for the future. We’ll also discuss how your business operates and your aspirations for the future – some sellers have found early discussions are beneficial to ensure the business is fine tuned for the exit strategy of preference. When selling your brokerage, you can be confident that your business will be in safe hands moving forward and if you wish to remain a part of this journey, we will be pleased to work with you.
