Q: Why be an independent agent?

A: Being an independent agent has many advantages over being a captive agent. Independent agents work for themselves. They have their own business. Independent agents generally have a wide variety of products and companies and work on behalf of the client. The variety is good for the client and the agent. Independent agents have no restrictions from a parent company telling them what products they can or cannot sell. Usually the commissions are greater for an independent agent. Once an independent agent retires or leaves the business, they will receive renewal income for many years. A captive agent, for example, would be one that works for State Farm or Allstate.

Q: Do I need Errors and Omission (E&O) insurance to work as an independent agent? 

A: As an insurance sales agent, your Errors and Omissions  (E&O) insurance coverage could be your most important investment. Protecting you and your family from the expense of a potential lawsuit or legal action is critical. Some carriers will not appoint you if you do not have E&O insurance.

Look at ‘Agent Resources’ on our websites for information E&O insurance providers.
