How they work

It invests in insurance brokers, underwriting agencies and complementary businesses while also operating networks of independently owned brokers. Its model supports succession, acquisitions and growth through equity partnerships and shared services. Network membership alone does not mean Steadfast owns the broker.
Steadfast offers insurance business owners equity partnerships to support succession, acquisitions and long-term growth.
