Valuation Drivers of Specialty Insurance Distributors

Understanding a firm’s valuation is prudent as business owners seek to grow wealth.  Valuation represents the financial worth of the business based on factors such as earnings, growth potential, market conditions, and operating characteristics.  These inputs are used by investors and stakeholders to assess a company’s attractiveness for acquisition, investment, or strategic partnerships from an internal (i.e. perpetuation) or external (i.e. sale/investment) perspective. George Bucur, MarshBerry’s Managing Director and Specialty Co-Head, addresses the “noise” in the marketplace, which often times distorts valuations making them difficult to compare on an apples-to-apples basis.  Join us for this multi part series as George breaks down where these multiples originate and offers insights into those critical factors owners may be able to influence to maximize value.
