With more than 12 acquisitions and mergers since starting business in 2006, Lapre Scali & Co. Insurance Services LLC, Scottsdale, Ariz., keeps growing with offices in Arizona and Nevada and licensed in all 50 states. Terry Scali, CEO of Lapre Scali, first acquired assets of National Commercial Insurance & Surety Specialists Inc., and following the successful growth and sale of Scali’s first agency, he saw an opportunity to build another new and bigger firm by partnering with Mike Lapre and his successful operations. Lapre and Scali knew each other from previous insurance activity in the marketplace.

Related: Lapre Scali named a finalist in the Commercial Agency Awards for Excellence.

The Lapre Scali acquisitions were purchased strategically to establish offices in Arizona and Nevada cities, and have been a combination of turnkey offices and small agencies, books of business and producers with books of businesses, including programs of business that had a tactful fit.

“Lapre Scali is very selective in its acquisitions and is reviewing and assessing possible acquisitions on a regular basis,” Scali said. “There is no target number of acquisitions. Opportunities avail themselves on a recurring basis. They must be complimentary to the growth and market objective, and also provide the opportunity for organic growth beyond the initial acquisition.”
