Why American Patriot
With the goal of becoming a top 100 agency by 2012, our model for growth through acquisition provides a long-term platform for success and stability, providing significant opportunity for retail agencies in strategic locations throughout the U.S. We provide an excellent perpetuation plan, capital resources for dynamic growth, and partnership with a company that’s dedicated to serving the insured. We want to be your select Partner of Choice by offering a unique structure and platform not provided by the conventional approaches of other acquisition-oriented firms.
Financial strength, commitment to long-term value
American Patriot provides a capital rich environment as a wholly owned retail insurance distribution subsidiary of Hendricks Holding Company (HHC), a private family venture company owning more than 30 companies throughout the U.S. The Hendricks’ flagship company, ABC Supply Company, is the nation's largest building materials supply wholesaler. The Hendricks rank 107th on Forbes’ 2007 list of the 400 wealthiest Americans.
American Patriot’s focus is on long-term, steady top and bottom line margin growth. With the backing of a well capitalized parent company, we have the true luxury of building long-term value without the short-term quarterly earnings pressures of public companies, or the short-term buy-and-flip strategy of private equity companies. HHC is committed to providing the capital needed to build American Patriot and expand its reach throughout the United States.
Increased market access and
business growth
By joining American Patriot, your firm will be able to increase agency volume through access to national carrier contracts, as well as expand programs through other agent partners and HHC companies.
Key to success is in part the existing vertical integration insurance model – carrier, wholesale, retail – currently comprised of a livery and construction related carrier and a full service insurance wholesale brokerage company providing tailored insurance solutions for many classes of business. Plans include further efforts to extend the carrier and wholesale platforms. Agents will also benefit from our direct access to proprietary products for roofers, insulators, artisan and other sub-contractors and contractors, as well as national carriers.
American Patriot is committed to enhancing organic growth by providing you with additional market capacity and programs, especially those targeted to specific niches. Consistent with its history and development, we will continue to develop proprietary or semi-proprietary products to respond to the specific insurance and risk management needs in difficult industry segments like the construction as well as other expanded niches.
Keep your identity and independence
We understand that independent agents take great pride in business ownership. At American Patriot, there’s nothing to stand in your way of your entrepreneurial spirit. When you join our team, you’ll have the unique opportunity to maintain your existing business identity in your applicable market, and operate under your own brand names. Unlike typical integrated insurance franchises, at American Patriot, you can still be your own boss while growing with us.
