Sample Buy-Sell Agreements

Periodically, agents ask if we have a sample agreement we can share to address a buy-sell arrangement - internal or external. We do, and here are sample agreements that address the most pertinent areas.

Before using any form or agreement made available to you, review the agreement to make sure it is applicable to your situation and covers the points you want addressed. In addition, an attorney should review the agreement to make sure it abides by your local and state laws.

Support Personnel Categories By Revenue Size

Ever want to know how many accounting or automation personnel your agency should have?

Our clients frequently ask, "How many employees should we dedicate to agency positions -- particularly those in support areas such as accounting and automation?" Of course, each agency has individual needs that must be taken into consideration. MarshBerry's PHP (Perspectives for High Performance) report offers a general rule-of-thumb that permits agency owners to gauge their staffing versus the industry average.

Using information culled from MarshBerry's extensive client database, the following graphs illustrate, on average, the number of agency personnel dedicated to the automation or accounting function by revenue (in millions).
