How Tampa is structured

Carrier appointments measure an agency’s scale and reach. A market with a long tail of single-carrier agencies is fragmented — the structural signature of one that hasn’t consolidated yet.

Tampa is in early consolidation — 93.9% of agencies remain independent, and 5% of appointed agencies carry just one carrier. The fragmentation runway is wide and largely unconsolidated.

How we handle this data

Public records only

Built from state licensing and carrier-appointment records — never from any agency’s private book.

We never sell your data or broker your agency

Pexara is not a broker. We don’t list agencies for sale and we don’t represent buyers against you.

Benchmarks only at n ≥ 5

Inside your private portal, peer comparisons appear only when at least five agencies are pooled — never identifying another operator.
