Renaissance Alliance Expands National Profile With IAN Acquisition

October 27, 2025 by AC Editor

Fifth Agency Network to Join Renaissance Since 2023

Renaissance Alliance is making a major expansion out west. The former family-owned insurance agency network founded in Wellesley announced its acquisition of the agency network business of Insurance Services of the West, LLC, which operates as Insurance Agency Network (IAN).

Based in Washington, IAN is a membership organization with more than 70 member agencies representing $400 million in premium. The organization focuses on helping independent insurance agencies expand their operations through enhanced carrier access, agency management tools, technology solutions, and a collaborative peer community.

“This acquisition expands Renaissance’s national footprint while strengthening the newly combined community,” said Robert Bondi, Chief Executive Officer of Renaissance. “We are excited to deliver our products and services to more agencies seeking consistent, reliable growth.”

Michael Haller, Chief Administration Officer of IAN, commented, “Renaissance provides our members with additional carrier/market access and increased profit share/enhanced compensation opportunities to expand their offerings and  support their continued growth. We are confident that this partnership will deliver significant value to the IAN network members.”

Craig Phair, Chief Operating Officer of IAN, added, “Renaissance aligns with IAN’s mission to foster a community of thriving, profitable agencies. Their platform empowers members to leverage premium volume and navigate the Independent Agent Road with confidence.”

Continued Growth Through Network Partnerships

IAN is the fifth agency network to join Renaissance since 2023, according to the announcement.

This transaction extends Renaissance’s reach into 12 additional states and reinforces its strategy of partnering with like-minded networks to offer expanded resources and support to their members.
