Inszone Insurance Services has acquired Assistance Insurance Agency, adding a family-owned business founded in 1974 to its personal insurance operations in Southern California. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The agency is owned by three generations of the Rideau family and serves individuals and families with home, auto and other property and casualty coverage. According to the source, the family sought a buyer that could provide clients with broader access to insurance markets and carriers while maintaining the agency's personal service. Clients will gain access to Inszone's technology and administrative resources as the agency integrates into the national brokerage's systems and processes.
"For more than five decades, the Rideau family has built a loyal personal lines and property and casualty book grounded in genuine relationships with their clients," said Chris Walters, CEO of Inszone Insurance Services. Walters said Inszone plans to continue the service approach the agency has maintained since its founding.
Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Sacramento, Inszone provides property and casualty insurance and employee benefits services. It operates offices in 25 states and continues to expand through acquisitions and organic growth.
