Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Revenue Predictability
- Ask how revenue breaks down: subscription fees, renewal commissions, management fees, or transaction-based income.
- Steady annual contracts and renewal rates above 85% signal a business where cash flow is genuinely reliable.
- Transaction-based income tied to interest rates or market activity moves differently than fee-based revenue and is worth understanding separately.
- Renewal rates above 85% across the client base are one of the strongest signals of a durable finance business.
Licensing and Compliance Position
- Find out what licenses exist, whether they're held at the company or individual level, and what the transfer or re-application process looks like.
- Insurance carrier appointments, multi-state fintech licenses, and mortgage state approvals all have different transfer timelines.
- Starting this review before you go deep into diligence prevents licensing issues from becoming late-stage surprises.
Client and Customer Concentration
- In advisory and insurance businesses, aim for no single client representing more than 10 percent of revenue.
- In fintech and lending, ask how many institutions or customers the recurring revenue comes from.
- Businesses with one large client aren't automatically problems, but understanding the contract length and renewal history is worth doing early.
Team Depth Beyond the Founder
- Ask whether advisors, producers, or account managers have their own client connections and how long they've been with the business.
- A business where the team manages relationships and the owner manages the business is far more transferable than one where everything flows through a single person.
- Find out whether key people are committed to staying through a transition, and what incentive structures exist to keep them.

FAQ
Finance & Insurance Businesses in Florida
What should I look for when buying a finance and insurance business?
Start with revenue predictability and the licensing situation. You want to understand how much of the revenue comes back automatically each year, whether it's renewal commissions, subscription fees, or management fees, and what the transfer process looks like for any licenses or carrier appointments. A business where the team manages client relationships and compliance is current is a strong starting point. Browse finance and insurance businesses for sale on Rejigg to see what's available.
How much does a finance and insurance business cost?
Most finance and insurance businesses sell for 2 to 10 times annual profit, with the range reflecting how predictable the revenue is and whether the business has a management team in place. Owner-operated agencies and advisory practices typically trade at 2 to 5x SDE. Businesses with subscription revenue, multiple licensed advisors or producers, and low client concentration can reach 5 to 10x EBITDA. Use the SBA loan calculator to model financing scenarios.
How do I evaluate a finance and insurance business before buying?
Ask for three years of financials with revenue broken out by type: recurring versus one-time, fee-based versus commission, subscription versus transaction. Then get the licensing details, renewal rates or retention data, and a roster of who on the team manages which client relationships. Understanding what the business earns when the owner is on vacation for three weeks tells you more than almost anything else about transferability.
What due diligence questions should I ask about a finance and insurance business?
Good starting points: What percentage of revenue is recurring or renewing, and what's the historical retention rate? What licenses are held at the company versus individual level, and what does the transfer process look like? Who manages client relationships day to day, and how long have those people been with the business? Is any single client or institution more than 15% of revenue? What's the compliance record, and are there any open regulatory issues?
Where can I find finance and insurance businesses for sale?
Rejigg is built for small business acquisitions, including finance and insurance. You can browse finance and insurance businesses for sale on Rejigg and connect directly with sellers without a broker in the middle. Listings include financial details and ownership information so you can filter for deals that match what you're looking for.
How do licenses and carrier appointments transfer when you buy a financial services business?
The answer varies significantly by subcategory. Insurance carrier appointments often require written consent from each carrier and some require a fresh application. State lending and mortgage licenses may need regulatory approval or a new application by the buyer. Fintech licenses are sometimes held at the entity level and transfer with the company, which simplifies things. Starting this review early, ideally before you're deep in diligence, prevents licensing issues from becoming deal delays at the finish line.
What makes a finance or insurance business easier to finance with an SBA loan?
Lenders respond well to businesses where most revenue is recurring, where the business has been profitable for at least three years, and where the client base is spread across many relationships rather than concentrated in one or two large accounts. A clean compliance record and current licenses also help. Use the SBA loan calculator to see what different deal sizes look like at current rates.
