The marketplace for independent agencies
Where books of business change hands.
milly is where independent agencies are bought and sold. Sellers start with a free, traceable valuation. Buyers start with a profile — and the books that fit come to them. Both start free.
- Free to start
- Anonymous until you say so
- 3% only at close
In one breath
milly is the marketplace where independent agencies are bought and sold. Listings are anonymous1. Buyers come profiled2. The asking price starts from a valuation you can trace3. And the fee is 3% at close — nothing before it4.

Why we built milly
Built for the 84% the brokers won't touch.
A traditional M&A broker needs a $5M-plus deal to cover their costs, so that's where they start. The other 84% of agencies — real books, real owners — have no process built for them.
milly is the marketplace for everything under the line — the $300K–$5M book, sold without an M&A broker.
What you can do here

02 · For sellers
Sell on your terms.
Retirement, succession, or just testing the water — list when you're ready, stay sealed until you choose the buyer.

The marketplace copy carries the book — premium, retention, carriers — and seals the owner. Buyers act on the numbers; your name waits for you.
03 · For buyers
The books that fit find you.
Building by acquisition is a pipeline problem. State your appetite once and the marketplace runs it while you run the agency.

Browsing is free. Pro is $40/mo when you want the whole pipeline.
Four facts in, and the marketplace starts working for you — no scanning, no broker lists, no score to game.

How it works — all of it
One book, end to end.
The same example book, run through the whole machine. Press each step; every one has its own page when you want the detail.

What it costs
The whole bill fits on one card.
No retainer. No commission negotiation. No fee to find out what you have. Everything up to the closing table is $0 — and the one line that isn't only exists if you sell.
The model of record lives on pricing — this card is the entire summary, and it has to keep matching.
