Our Philosophy
Our decentralized sales and service model allows you to maintain the prideful relationships you have established with your customers, carriers, and local community. When your company is acquired, you will have the autonomy to run your business, while having access to the powerful resources of a large national brokerage.
We are proud to have had more than 500 agencies join our team.
“We joined Brown & Brown over five years ago and have witnessed first-hand the benefits that come from being on the team. We’re constantly impressed with the deep leadership talent that we get to work with day in and day out.”
"Brown & Brown made several promises during our acquisition process. Not only did they keep all their promises, they really went the extra mile in ensuring our satisfaction with the process and the outcome. We could not have selected a better partner to help us feed and grow our enterprise."
"When running your own business, oftentimes you have to make bold decisions about your future. Partnering with Brown & Brown is by far one of the best decisions we ever made. It provided my family with financial independence, while at the same time, delivered access to resources that allowed TSG to continue to grow and acquire other businesses. The Brown & Brown culture is a great fit for our team!”

Long-Term Opportunity for Talented Leaders & Teammates
We are built to last – a forever company – and are committed to giving every teammate the training, mentoring, and tools they need for long-term success. Many of our senior leaders came to us through acquisition.

Growth & Margin Focused
We have a clearly defined growth strategy and our company is rapidly growing on an organic basis and through the acquisition of like-minded companies.
Decentralized Sales & Service Model
Our decentralized sales and service model means that decision-making power remains with each individual office, uniquely positioning us to deliver and adapt solutions to fit local market challenges, while still providing access to powerful resources, dynamic capabilities, and the carrier clout of a large, national brokerage.
