This is not insurance for perts. Our insured runs a busines that cremates dead animals. from cats to horses. I need a good admitted carrier for this?

In my experience there are no MGA's that are jack of all trades. Most MGA are more or less slanted towards a certain industry. Pick a class code and try and built a book in that industry. In my opinion its better to partner up with a solid large brokerage firm and split commissions until you are rea...

Anyone know of Home arranty companies that will pay comissions to agents. When I was captive we used to get 20% from AHS. I have not found anyone inlcuding them that works with IA's . Any info is appreciated.

No , I'm just looking for Home owners insurance, HO-3 or HO-5 for some who has home day care in their home.

Who insures homes on CA if there is a Home day care. The daycare op has it own GL. Thanks

Any admitted carriers do Pet Crematory Business package? GL, Autos, IM. Thanks

You are absolutely right> recemtly we were looking for a new CSr and I was surprised by the number of CSR resumes we were getting that did not have a license. They all worked at other agencies and did all the work.

As an Ex Farmers agent I can tell you that you are wrong. There are several reasons that there are more Farmers agents going IA vs SF and Allstate: 1) They are less discriminate in taking new agents.

Wanted to see what everyone here though about hiring licensed vs non licensed CSR's. We dont use them but I know many agencies do and these non licensed CSR's are quoting an talking coverage with clients.

Farmers is the armpit of the insurance industry. for good info go to the UFAA website.

Not a big issue here yet but we mainly write package anyway. Just throw in a silver renters policy.

Victory has a good admitted program.

From what I hear they are trying to get the smaller agencies to close and create super agencies.

what ever you do don't join Farmers, or State Farm. If I had to do it all over again I would get my licesne and go worj for an agency while gaining experience. running an agency it a big headache. If you are a good producer have the firm handle the business side and you just go sell. thats my $0.02

SIAA is one of the big clusters but not the only option. Their contract was too long for us so we joined premier . www.thinkpremierfirst.com. I also hear good things about PIIB. After being captive anything is better!!!
