Preferred Guardian Insurance (PGI), based in Dallas, Texas, announced it has opened a wholesale division and added its first two agencies: PIP Insurance Services in Dallas and Alkali Insurance Services in Plano.
PGI’s wholesale program looks for agents new to the insurance business as well as those new to the independent agency system.
Preferred Guardian assists in the initial stage of opening an agency from site selection to interviewing to budgeting/financial forecasting. The company offers direct access to many national insurance carriers and pays almost all of the commission to the retail agency.
Preferred Guardian Insurance President Barney Schwartz stated that he believes his company’s program is unique in that it teaches agents how to enter and thrive in the independent agency channel, earn the majority of the commission and profit sharing, and have access to great insurance carriers.
