For agency owners
Two purchase structures.
Both begin with the same review of the book. The difference is when consideration is paid and how the owner transitions out.
02 Retirement payout
Payments over time.
Kinro pays the purchase consideration over an agreed period. The contract defines the schedule, any retention mechanics, and the seller's continuing role.

Prospecting, intake, advice, placement, service, renewals, customer communication, and recordkeeping are divided clearly.

Book ownership and portability depend on the signed terms and applicable carrier, wholesaler, MGA, licensing, and other restrictions.
