Economies of Scale Within Insurance and Benefits
Does anyone have guidance on rules of thumb for preliminarily underwriting insurance and benefits savings in a roll-up consolidation strategy within a typical business services company? What degree of cost take-out typically exists, and where are the primary savings within the specific insurance policies (workers comp, auto, GL, cyber)? Are there rules of thumb based on headcount? Separately, how does the legal structure of entities impact the ability to share insurance policies? For example, if we kept two similar acquisitions under distinct holding company structures for debt financing purposes... would this eliminate our ability to drive insurance synergies? If there is a solution to ring-fenced acquisitions that share insurance policies, any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
