Acquisition Opportunity Premier Financial, Inc. has just been acquired by Highland Capital Brokerage, which presents a channel shift opportunity for cross-sell of life insurance, annuities, long-term care, and disability coverage through Highland's broader distribution network.

Strategic Fit As a small independent brokerage general agency with 2-10 employees, Premier Financial represents an avenue to expand footprint in 46 states by aligning with Highland's established platforms and client base.

Product Synergy Premier’s emphasis on consumer-oriented, top-rated products from stable carriers complements Highland Capital Brokerage’s portfolio, enabling joint offerings to financial institutions, broker-dealers, and independent professionals.

Technology Enablement Leverage Premier’s current tech stack (Wix, Microsoft 365, Google Cloud) to streamline onboarding, client marketing, and digital distribution, accelerating integration with Highland’s systems.

Market Expansion With operations across 46 states and a Midwestern base, there is an opportunity to scale marketing services and insurer partnerships to capture growth in underpenetrated regions while leveraging Highland’s distribution strength.
