Industry Analysis: Commercial Insurance Brokerage
Challenge
A private equity client enlisted GLG to help assess the commercial insurance brokerage space. Key questions included:
- Competitive landscape and the target company’s positioning
- Potential for inorganic growth in the commercial insurance space
The GLG Approach
GLG assembled an engagement team led by a former commercial due diligence consultant from a top-tier firm, along with a 20-year insurance industry veteran executive who served as an advisor.
During the three-week effort, the GLG team:
- Facilitated 20 expert interviews with stakeholders across the insurance value chain (e.g., carriers, brokers)
- Conducted a survey of 150 addressable customers to assess the target’s strengths and weaknesses
Outcome
GLG’s team helped synthesize the findings into a 60-page report summarizing the target’s reputation, positioning, customer perceptions, and growth opportunities. The findings helped inform the client’s valuation model and their decision to continue with diligence.
