Ten Eyck Group

What Ten Eyck Group does

Ten Eyck Group is an independent insurance agency founded in 1905 and headquartered at 1924 Western Avenue, Albany, New York. The firm serves individuals, families, and small-to-mid-sized businesses across the Capital Region of New York (Albany, Schenectady, Saratoga, Troy) and beyond, distributing personal lines (auto, home, renters, condo, motorcycle, boat, RV, flood, life, health, personal umbrella), commercial lines (BOP, commercial auto, workers compensation, cyber liability, EPLI, D&O, E&O, business interruption, surety bonds), group health and employee benefits, and ancillary financial and estate planning services through affiliated professionals.

As an independent agency, Ten Eyck does not issue policies itself; instead it represents over 50 insurance carriers — including Travelers, The Hartford, Chubb, Liberty Mutual, Progressive, Pure, and several regional mutuals — earning transaction commissions on placed premiums. The agency operates on a quote-based pricing model where premiums reflect individual risk factors and carrier underwriting criteria, with billing handled on a monthly cadence. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, conducted through the Albany office via phone, email, and in-person consultations, supplemented by a website with 15+ product-specific quote forms, blog/SEO content, quarterly email newsletters, social media, a referral rewards program, and community involvement with local chambers.

The agency's core technology stack consists of standard insurance-agency operations with no proprietary platforms, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities disclosed. Following its February 2026 acquisition by King Risk Partners — a PE-backed insurance aggregator (Lightyear Capital, BHMS Investments) on its 36th acquisition — Ten Eyck continues to operate under its local brand while gaining access to national brokerage scale, enhanced carrier negotiating leverage, and cross-sell into King Risk's broader client base.

Direct peers

• King Risk Partners: Ten Eyck's parent organization since Feb 2026 and the 51st-largest US insurance brokerage with $100M+ in revenue. Highly comparable as an independent insurance agency/brokerage following the same commission-based revenue model, multi-carrier distribution, and East Coast acquisition-led expansion playbook.
• Marshall & Sterling Insurance: Independent insurance agency headquartered in Utica, NY, serving individuals and businesses across upstate New York with personal, commercial, life, and group benefits — a highly comparable regional independent agency peer competing in overlapping product lines and customer segments.
• Starkweather & Sheehy Insurance: Independent insurance agency serving customers across upstate New York with personal, commercial, and group benefits. Closely comparable regional peer with similar product mix and carrier relationships in geographies that directly overlap Ten Eyck's Albany-area service territory.

Emerging players

• Acrisure: Founded in 2005 as a small agency and grown into one of the largest US insurance brokers via a PE-backed acquisition strategy. Comparable as an aggregator-of-independents rolling up regional agencies with multi-carrier distribution and commission economics.
• Hilb Group: PE-backed insurance brokerage rollup that acquires regional independent agencies across the US. Highly comparable business model: M&A-driven expansion, independent-agent autonomy, multi-carrier product breadth, and PE-backed consolidation.
• NFP (an Aon company): Previously PE-owned insurance brokerage (acquired by Aon in 2024) that grew via rollups of regional independent agencies. Same agency/brokerage distribution model, commission-based economics, and PE-backed consolidation playbook, now embedded in Aon's broader capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Brown & Brown, Inc. Large publicly-traded US insurance brokerage providing personal, commercial, and employee benefits products nationally. Comparable as a multi-carrier broker with similar product breadth and an acquisition-driven growth strategy, though at meaningfully greater scale.
• Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. Global insurance brokerage and risk management firm serving commercial and consumer customers. Directly comparable offering overlap across personal, commercial, life, and group benefits via similar independent-agent and direct distribution channels.
