Integrity Marketing Group, LLC (“Integrity”), one of the nation’s largest independent distributors of life and health insurance products, announced Nov. 27 that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Scott Riddle Agency, one of America’s leading final expense insurance distributors.

As part of the deal, the company’s founder, Scott Riddle, becomes an owner in Integrity, and president Jacque Huggins becomes a Managing Partner of Integrity. Financial terms of the private transaction were not disclosed.

Scott Riddle Agency, headquartered in Waco, Texas, is one of the largest final expense life insurance marketing organizations that distributes through partnering with leading U.S. call centers. The company has helped more than 215,000 Americans plan for their final expense insurance needs, placing $150 million of premium, predominantly with the American Amicable Group of Companies, totaling an aggregate death benefit of over $2 billion.

“Joining Integrity has brought a new energy to my business and I am very excited about how we can now better serve the organizations that we partner with,” said Riddle. “Our success is due largely to the call centers and agents we work with, and we can now offer them even more services and opportunities to grow and expand their businesses. Integrity has the greatest model in the United States to help agencies help their customers.”

“We strive to provide the best service and support to our partners every day, and Integrity will enhance our ability to deliver on that promise,” added Jacque Huggins.
