BDO has recently advised on the sale of RGA Underwriting Group to Arthur J Gallagher & Co.
Founded in 2001, the companies comprising RGA Underwriting Group which include Rentguard Ltd, Home & Travel Ltd and RGA Underwriting Ltd specialise in insurance cover for private and professional landlords and real estate portfolio owners, as well as offering wider property owner insurance coverages to individuals and businesses. Arthur J. Gallagher & Co is a US listed global insurance brokerage with operations in 35 countries.
RGA Underwriting Group's expertise in developing and delivering effective risk solutions across the property owners' insurance market broadens Gallagher's international specialist capabilities. In addition the complementary product range of RGA Underwriting Group and its well-known trading brands will further strengthen Gallagher's established specialism in niche property owners' insurance.
When we decided that the time had come to sell our business, we were recommended to use BDO as a business partner.
BDO worked with us from the outset and made sure that they fully understood our business model and the best options for us to explore.
We were provided with good clear communication throughout and we received a good outcome as a result of their dedication and excellence from start to finish. We feel that we had the best possible support at all times and that greatly helped us on our journey.
As such, I have no hesitation in recommending BDO.
