NFS is a provider of business process services in flood insurance, according to the statement. The company provides services including technology platforms and data and analytics, according to its website.

The company employs 550 supporting some 87,000 active flood agents managing roughly 1.8 million flood policies in force and $1.5 billion of National Flood Insurance Program premium annually, the statement said.
