SELL YOUR agency

Retire on your terms.your clients won't feel a bump.

YOU SPENT DECADES ANSWERING THE PHONE, RENEWING THE POLICIES, AND KEEPING YOUR WORD. WHEN YOU'RE READY TO STOP, YOU DESERVE A BUYER WHO PRICES THE AGENCY HONESTLY, KEEPS THE CONVERSATION QUIET, AND SERVES YOUR CLIENTS AT LEAST AS WELL AS YOU DID.

Why owners choose us— four reasons, stated plainly.

NO PRESSURE TACTICS — WRITTEN INTO OUR LOIS
.01

A fair price that holdsverified before it's offered

WE PRICE FROM YOUR COMMISSION STATEMENTS, YOUR RETENTION, AND YOUR CARRIER MIX — REVIEWED TOGETHER UNDER NDA. THE NUMBER WE OPEN WITH IS THE NUMBER WE INTEND TO CLOSE ON, AND WE PUT THAT DISCIPLINE IN WRITING.

.02

A transition on your termsmonths or a renewal cycle — your call

SOME OWNERS WANT A STRUCTURED HANDOFF ACROSS A FULL RENEWAL SEASON. SOME WANT THE KEYS PASSED QUIETLY AND A CLEAN BREAK. WE WRITE THE TRANSITION AROUND YOUR LIFE, AND THEN WE HONOR WHAT WE WROTE.

.03

Clients served onbetter than before, not merely as well

THE BOOKS WE ACQUIRE RUN ON PEARL, THE OPERATIONS PLATFORM PROVEN INSIDE OUR OWN DENVER AGENCY. EVERY RENEWAL REVIEWED, EVERY CALL ANSWERED, EVERY CERTIFICATE SAME-DAY — THE PROMISES YOU MADE, KEPT ON YOUR BEHALF.

.04

Quiet and confidentialfrom first call to announcement

NOBODY HEARS ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION UNTIL YOU WANT THEM TO. A MUTUAL NDA COMES BEFORE ANY DATA CHANGES HANDS, AND NOTHING IS ANNOUNCED UNTIL YOU HAVE APPROVED THE WORDS AND THE TIMING.

Dark Sky against your other options— because you have them, and you should weigh them.

The private buyer nearby

WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS A HANDSHAKE NUMBER, A LONG EARN-OUT, AND SERVICE STANDARDS YOU CAN'T ENFORCE ONCE THE SIGN CHANGES.
WITH DARK SKY

A WRITTEN OFFER FROM VERIFIED NUMBERS, TERMS STATED PLAINLY, AND SERVICE COMMITMENTS YOU CAN READ BEFORE YOU SIGN — NOT AFTER.

.B

The national consolidator

WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS YOUR AGENCY BECOMES A BRANCH CODE. YOUR CLIENTS BECOME A QUEUE. YOUR NAME COMES OFF THE DOOR ON A SCHEDULE YOU DIDN'T SET.
WITH DARK SKY

YOUR NAME STAYS THROUGH THE TRANSITION, YOUR AGENCY KEEPS ITS OWN PAGE, AND THE PEOPLE SERVING YOUR CLIENTS ANSWER TO STANDARDS WE PUBLISH.

.C

Letting the book run off

WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS RETENTION DECAYS QUIETLY, CARRIERS NOTICE BEFORE YOU DO, AND THE VALUE YOU BUILT OVER DECADES LEAVES A LITTLE EVERY MONTH.
WITH DARK SKY

THE AGENCY IS PRICED WHILE IT'S HEALTHY, YOUR CLIENTS ARE HANDED OFF PROPERLY, AND YOUR YEARS OF WORK CONVERT INTO A RETIREMENT INSTEAD OF EVAPORATING.

.THE PROCESS

Six steps, published in full— about as long as one more renewal season.

02 — MUTUAL NDA, THEN DATA REVIEW
03 — A VERIFIED-DATA OFFER, IN WRITING
04 — DILIGENCE AND AGREEMENT

Three questions we hear first— the rest are answered just as plainly.

Is my agency too small for you?

NO. SMALL INDEPENDENT AGENCIES ARE THE REASON DARK SKY EXISTS — THE BOOKS LARGER BUYERS WON'T RETURN A CALL FOR ARE THE ONES WE BUILT OUR OPERATION TO SERVE.

What if I'm a year or two from retiring?

THAT'S THE BEST TIME TO TALK. RUNWAY LETS US PLAN THE TRANSITION PROPERLY, AND IT COSTS YOU NOTHING TO KNOW YOUR OPTIONS EARLY.

Who sees my information?

ONLY THE DEAL TEAM. NOTHING IS SHARED, SOLD, OR ANNOUNCED WITHOUT YOUR WRITTEN APPROVAL — OUR FULL CONFIDENTIALITY PROMISE IS PUBLISHED, IN PLAIN LANGUAGE.
