BizEquity will provide Security Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York with a private label version of BizEquity's patented "Advisor Office" business valuation service. The arrangement will allow certain Security Mutual life insurance advisors to access BizEquity's powerful database-driven business valuation service.

BizEquity's "Advisor Office" service features a dedicated platform that harnesses sophisticated algorithms and big data. This will enable Security Mutual Life and its affiliated life insurance advisors to better gauge the risk profile of clients and better assess how life insurance may fit in the client's broader financial plan. The service also gives advisors new opportunities to begin conversations with potential clients, providing them with current valuations on their companies.

The insurance industry offers a strong opportunity for advisors to work with small businesses in a $246 billion market. Furthermore with 10 million businesses expected to change ownership over the next 10 years and many business owners planning retirement based on the sale of their company, business valuation knowledge is a vital service for insurance companies, as well as other financial institutions and advisors, to provide.    

Michael M. Carter, CEO of BizEquity, commented:  

"Adding Security Mutual Life as our 50th financial institution that private labels our patented product and service offering is a real testament to the power of our business valuation service in the Insurance space.  With 40 percent of business owners not having life insurance and 50 percent of business owners underinsured in general, the ability to service the small-business owner is becoming of paramount importance. 

James J. Kerwin, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Security Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, commented: 

"BizEquity's valuation product is quickly becoming the leading way to value privately held businesses. Security Mutual's relationship with BizEquity demonstrates our commitment to better serve our business owner clients when it comes to the life insurance elements of their estate and retirement-planning needs."
