Selling an insurance agency in Florida: common questions
How much is an insurance agency in Florida worth?
Insurance agencies typically sell for 4.3x-11x EBITDA, or 2.9x-4.3x SDE for smaller owner-operated insurance agencies, with most deals in the ~$0.5M median for small agencies (BizBuySell: $497,500 median sale price, 2021-2025); larger deals rarely disclose price range. Buyers tend to pay more for organic growth and strong margins, high client retention, specialty or niche expertise and operational depth beyond the owner, and less where they see owner-dependent book of business, weak client retention, commoditized personal lines and competition from larger brokers. These are industry-wide ranges from Peak Business Valuation, BizBuySell and others, not an appraisal of your agency.

Valuation multiples are published ranges from Peak Business Valuation — Insurance Agency Valuation Multiples (SDE), Peak Business Valuation — Insurance Agency Valuation Multiples (EBITDA), BizBuySell — Insurance Agency Business Valuation Benchmarks and MarshBerry — Today's ViewPoint (Jul 23, 2025). Establishment counts are from the U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 524210). Platform ownership comes from each platform's own or press sources, verified October 6, 2026. Companies listed as already owned come from DealSeam's own research: the owner's website, the company's own website, a domain redirect, or a source found in our September 2026 ownership screen, each re-checked before publishing. Named acquisitions are the deals we have recorded from public announcements, each linked to its source; they are not every deal in the state. Ownership in this sector changes often. None of this is investment, legal or tax advice.
