DON'T SEE A SOLUTION YOU ARE LOOKING FOR?

A partnership with Heffernan Network can come in various shapes and sizes. If joining Heffernan Network is not the right next step for you and your agency, let’s explore other ways we can work together.

Our goal is to help independent agencies, like yours, continue to grow by leveraging our entrepreneurial drive, insurance market influence, technology, and back office support systems. In most cases, we can craft a relationship that is just the solution you have been looking for.

LET’S CONNECT

We have a proven track record of over 70 years in the insurance space. We want to come alongside you and your agency to best-position you for success.

We are not just interested in buying revenue from agencies, but rather looking for like-minded insurance professionals to join our growing family.

If you want to retire and walk away from the business, we will pay top valuations. If you want to sell the majority of your agency, but still retain some ownership and continue to work for the agency, we have strategies you will like.
