All company decision makers constantly seek ways to maximize their business success. If you feel limited markets stunt business growth and eat profits, an acquisition by a larger concern may make sense.
With an acquisition, you can expand your customer base and broaden your markets, leading to greater overall success. An insurance acquisition will aid in leveraging your established networks and marketing prowess to grow the customer base of both the acquired and the acquiring company.
Understanding the Power of Strategic Acquisitions
To understand the power of strategic acquisitions, it’s important to know more about how they work and the difference between mergers and acquisitions. Some people might use mergers and acquisitions interchangeably, but there is a core difference between the two. An acquisition allows both companies to retain some separation. The company that acquires the other business is referred to as the parent company. However, the company being acquired is still a separate legal entity.
It’s vital, then, that the parent company do all in its power to ensure that the acquired company has future success. By choosing to enter into a strategic insurance acquisition, your business can see considerable growth because you can tap into a larger, more well-known business. This is particularly true within the personal lines industry, where the larger an entity is, the more powerful and successful it can become. Combining the resources, markets, and expertise of two companies provides many benefits, especially to your smaller business. These include:
- Access to more carriers
- Access to the parent company’s nationwide connections
- Increased resources
- Boost in margin
- Ability to offer additional value-added products
- Potential to grow nationally
- Vertical integration capabilities
- Increased buying power with third-party vendors
- Access to new markets
- Access to the parent company’s expertise
- Potential for new ideas and perspective

Access to Broader Markets and Diverse Customer Segments
Expanding the customer base is crucial for the growth and success of any business. Getting into new markets is a key way for your business to expand and increase its customer base. This may include expanding to foreign markets or B2B customers. An acquisition can facilitate that breakthrough to other markets and boost customer connections.
Tapping into more diverse customer segments is also a key component to greater customer access. It’s vital for your company to recognize the importance of diverse customer segments. If you disregard various demographic and cultural differences, it can lead to unproductive marketing strategies. When an acquisition takes place, you may be exposed to new customer segments. Fortunately, if you partner with the right company, they will already have a rich understanding of the diversity of their customer base. It’s truly vital to understand and connect with your entire audience. Knowing their unique characteristics can aid in providing a more tailored approach.

- Provide superior customer service.
- Develop a customer loyalty or rewards program.
