Thanks,

I am actually walking my last steps before jumping in. I have two clear options SIAA( SAN OF FLORIDA) and Great Florida insurance( Franchise) they both offer great services and appointments. Anyone out there that can give me his two cents here?

SIAA sound like the perfect deal for me but I am moving toward Homeowners Polcies and i really don't know if SIAA will be able to help me there.

Hi,

What is he purchase a small book of business ? Will he be able to write business from day one through those companies that he will have or no?

Sorry, this will sound as a really stupid question but I am on the doors of opening my first insurance agency and was just passing by the forum and was (honestly) curious by the tread. Why an insurance agency will need a cc processing system? Don’t we take the payment directly with the Insurance com...

Thanks, I think that I am more towards "Brokers Alliance" .They offer decent street level commissions and (apparently) great service, a great website with the rater for life and, contract with all the majors on my area offering me a variety of (A rating) companies and products. I haven’t h...

They (as I was told) will be taking their commision portion but I will be doing business through them, not direclty ...

Hi, As many of you may know already from my previous post's, I have been doing some research to open a new independent agency in Florida.

I used to call on several Great Florida Agents. It has been three years since I have talked to any of them but the agents rarely had anything to say other than positive comments about the relationship. Based on that I would definitely look into them. Thanks ,i called them and spoke with one of thei...
