From the supplier: Insurance firms are increasingly merging with other agencies or acquiring insurance firms to expand their operations. Other reasons for mergers and acquisitions include a desire to increase profit margins and a way to offer employees more job growth, job flexibility and increased pay. Companies that want to merger or acquire should take care not to purchase companies in which the sellers are retiring, because people are the most important assets. Also, buyers should not pay a seller for what they bring into the deal.
