Managing general agent with a remote team, Coventry

About this business

A Coventry managing general agent with 84 staff, underwriting specialist commercial lines for insurers and distributing through independent brokers. It has traded since 2015 and runs without premises, with underwriting, claims and broker support teams working remotely. Turnover has edged up to £10.5m, but adjusted EBITDA peaked at £3.36m in 2023 and has fallen since to £2.79m as costs have grown faster than income. The margin is still about 27%. A buyer gets scale and a wide spread of introducing brokers, along with the job of bringing costs back in line.

Key investment highlights

  • Turnover of £10.5m with 84 staff
  • Adjusted EBITDA of £2.79m last year
  • Fully remote: no lease or premises costs
  • Trading since 2015

Reason for sale
