Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]  
Certain Significant Risks and Business Uncertainties
Certain Significant Risks and Business Uncertainties — The Company is subject to the risks and challenges associated with companies at a similar stage of development. These include dependence on key individuals, successful development and marketing of its offerings, and competition with larger companies with greater financial, technical, and marketing resources. Furthermore, during the period required to achieve higher revenue in order to become consistently profitable, the Company may require additional funds that might not be readily available or might not be on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
Liquidity Liquidity — The Company has a history of negative cash flows from operations and operating losses. The Company generated net losses of approximately $15.3 million and $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Additionally, the Company anticipates further expenditures associated with the process of expanding its business organically and via acquisitions. The Company received net proceeds of $4.9 million in September 2024 and $3.3 million in April 2023 from the issuance of convertible notes. The Company also received $3.5 million of net proceeds from the issuance of an equity offering in December 2023. The Company received cash of approximately $7.8 million, a $4.0 million note receivable due in May 2025, and a $3.0 million note receivable due in May 2026 from the sale of Dagley Insurance Agency in May 2024. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $13.1 million and $7.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Management believes that existing cash along with its budget, which includes an increase in agent fees implemented in January 2024, growth from increasing attach rates across the Company’s businesses from internal referrals, and the expected ability to achieve sales volumes necessary to cover forecasted expenses, provide sufficient funding to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates — The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions, including those related to doubtful accounts, legal contingencies, income taxes, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, stock-based compensation, goodwill, estimated lives of intangible assets, and intangible asset impairment. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company might differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Recently Implemented Accounting Pronouncements and Recent Upcoming Accounting Pronouncement
Recently Implemented Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) . The objective of the amendments in this ASU is to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The amendments in this ASU reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and redeemable convertible preference shares. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein. The Company adopted the standard during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, and the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements was immaterial.
Recent Upcoming Accounting Pronouncement
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 – Segment Reporting (Topic 280) (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosure about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this update require, among other things, a public company to disclose on an annual and interim basis significant segment expense, as well as other segment expenses, that are regularly provided to the CODM. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the amendments in ASU 2023-07 will have on its segment disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 – Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 improves reporting for income taxes, primarily by requiring disclosure of specific categories in the tax rate reconciliation and providing additional annual information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 also require additional annual information regarding income taxes paid, as well as other additional disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the amendments in ASU 2023-09 will have on its tax disclosures.
The FASB issued ASU 2022-06 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) ("ASU 2022-06") that provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Entities can also elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The guidance in this ASU is optional and may be elected through December 31, 2024 as reference rate reform activities occur. We will continue to evaluate the impact of this ASU; however, we currently expect to avail ourselves of such optional expedients and exceptions should our modified contracts meet the required criteria.
