Start building your agency today with assistance from Insurance Advantage...

Insurance agents protect individuals and businesses through a variety of insurance products designed to insulate the client from life changing or catastophic losses.  Agents may be a captive agent representing one company or an independent agent representing many companies.

For an individual desiring to own a business, a career as a multiple-line independent insurance agent is one of the finest business opportunities available today.

There are various reasons for becoming an independent agent instead of a captive agent.  First, you represent multiple companies and are not tied to the rates and business decisions of one company.

You have the ability to provide more competitive coverage choices for your clients which also helps you retain them year after year. With only one company an agent is constantly trying to make one product fit all customers. As an independent agent representing many insurance carriers you can provide the product that best fits the client's needs.

As an independent multiple-line agent you can take control of your future. Your earnings are unlimited and are based on your ability and willingness to work. You choose how, when and where you work so you can balance work and family.

You experience the freedom to succeed and the control of how you live your life. You create your own destiny, a legacy for your family, and the pride and recognition that comes with success. And. you benefit from a career in a stable industry.

Successful agents have entered the insurance field on both a first and second career basis. Having said that, a career as an insurance agent is not for everyone! You won't find many successful part-time agents. This career takes focus and high levels of activity.

This is a business, and like any other business there are some failures. However, new agents can improve their chances for success by affiliating with Insurance Advantage. We are here to provide guidance, training and support as you grow your agency. 

Insurance Advantage is unique in that one of the principals professionally recruited, trained and supported a large number of new agents building multi-line agencies for almost 20 years. At Insurance Advantage we have the proven ability to support you in your bid to build a successful multiple-line insurance agency.

We provide structure and an almost "turn-key" approach for new agents. In addition, we have an innovative FLEX Agent Agreement, which is unique in the industry. The FLEX Agent Agreement is designed help you maximize your business results during the various stages of your agency development.
