CMM’s latest M&A deal highlights the tremendous appeal of Long Island businesses to nationwide companies looking to grow through acquisitions. CMM recently closed the multimillion-dollar stock sale of a Nassau County-based property and casualty insurance agency to a large insurance company with operations across the country.
