Insurance Brokerage Family Office Capital Raise: An Independent Sponsor's Counsel

Securities and M&A counsel for independent sponsors raising insurance brokerage transactions, from LOI to close to the capital markets that open up afterward.

EV range $10M to $150M EV EBITDA $3M to $25M Audience Independent Sponsor
The deal context

An independent sponsor closing insurance brokerage transactions in the $10M to $150M EV range has a defined set of moves at the Family Office Capital Raise stage. Most of them are not in a generic M&A textbook.

The typical insurance brokerage platform sits at $10M to $150M EV with EBITDA in the $3M to $25M range. The thesis runs on regional retail agency roll-ups. Producer non-competes are unenforceable in too many states to ignore. Plan retention, not litigation.

The moves

How Family Office Capital Raise actually gets structured.

  1. Lead with the deal and the structure, not with the firm pitch. Family offices invest in deals first.

  2. Build a Reg D 506(b) or 506(c) deck depending on whether you have a pre-existing relationship.

  3. Confirm accredited or qualified-purchaser status before sharing transactional detail.

  4. Match the LP's preferred check size to the position you can offer in the deal.

  5. In insurance brokerage, layer in E&O tail insurance priced and bound as part of the Family Office Capital Raise workstream.

The common mistake

Pitching family offices the same way you pitch institutional PE. They want shorter conversations and tighter alignment, not a fund deck.

Jason's take
"Family offices are not small institutions. They are sophisticated buyers of single positions. Pitch accordingly."

Capital after close

The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.

The capital that opens up post-close, from refinancing to growth equity to strategic exit, runs through a small set of Wall Street relationships. That network is built in.
