In our recent work with agencies, handling small Commercial Lines accounts has figured prominently in the overall recommendations for improvement. We've been surprised at the large volume of accounts with commissions of less than $1 ,000 that reside in both the "Select" departments and within the middle market and large accounts books of business. Many agencies struggle with monitoring growth in number of accounts by size. Even when strategic objectives are in place to grow in certain segments, small accounts seem to grow quietly to a larger and larger percentage of the overall book.

... those in the area. When the addition is complete, his will be the benchmark. What he bought originally was an average house with great potential (a dream) . What he now has is a dream realized - priceless! It's a two-part dream — one part is the house, the other part is the home. The house is about things — a structure, an asset, a residence, a thing that he and his spouse will leave to their children. The home is about people, a lifestyle, a love — how to live and how to die. It's about what they shows and teaches theirs children — yesterday, today, and tomorrow. In terms of the house, my friend and his spouse focused on the dream that they had for more than a decade ... . While we theorize about conditions that are five years out, he has major decisions to make, opportunities to capture, and crises to address - tomorrow. To convert his challenge to the vernacular - when you are up to your ass in alligators, it's tough to remember your original challenge is to drain the swamp. We were sitting on his back porch.

When he receives 10% of the stock of ABC Agency, he should also receive another piece of paper, a W-2 for $250,000 (10% of the $2.5 million) on which he will have to pay taxes. Assuming Pete resides in a state with an income tax rate of 4%, he will pay $10,000 to the state and $81,600 to the IRS (assuming a marginal tax rate of 34%) . Does he have the money? Note that if an agency is considering hiring a seasoned producer who's coming with a book of business, it might be possible to treat the producer ... an independent contractor with his own corporation, and later consider doing a stock swap to mitigate the tax impact to the producer. Summary Buying, selling, and perpetuating insurance agencies can be highly complex transactions that have significant impact on both the buyer and seller if not structured properly. Planning, sometimes years in advance, is crucial for agency owners to maximize the after-tax money they receive for their agencies. Agency owners are wise to hire qualified consultants who can help with agency valuation, corporate structure, perpetuation planning, shareholders agreements, and the related tax implications.
