Under the sale agreement disclosed by Boston Omaha, the deal was intended to transfer all ownership interests in GIG for $84,308,757.68 in cash. The acquisition gives CopperPoint businesses that include United Casualty & Surety Insurance, the BOSS Bonds platform and SuretyBonds.Market.

It said it had significant experience and scale in the sector. GIG’s president said the partnership would provide access to greater resources and financial strength, along with complementary reach in key markets and sectors and CopperPoint’s relationships with brokers and agencies.
The transferred assets reflect an insurance business alongside specialized surety distribution and technology platforms. According to Boston Omaha’s disclosure, GIG generated gross revenue of $27.2 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The company said United Casualty & Surety Insurance became licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. This represented geographic expansion in line with the service footprint CopperPoint announced for policyholders.
