  • Help you fill out an application
  • Draw up a contract and start negotiations

If you’re just getting started on your path to independence, you’re considered a start-up, regardless of total insurance experience. 

If you’re just starting out as an independent agent, regardless of total insurance industry experience, you’ll come to SIAA as a start-up. All you’ll need is at least two years of P&C sales experience and enough capital to cover starting a business, which includes three to four months of living costs, start-up costs like office space, and membership fees when you join SIAA.

The application process is the same for existing independent agencies. The size of your agency is not important, but we’ll want to see loss ratios.

The membership process usually takes one to two weeks. Once we know you are qualified, we’ll start reviewing an agreement.

There is some additional information you’ll need to provide including:

  • A financial statement
  • A detailed marketing plan
  • E&O coverage
  • Cyber liability coverage
  • All proper insurance licenses

 

In addition, we will  run a credit check and background check.

Initial Training

After you become a member (congratulations!) you receive five to six hours of onboarding training. Once you’ve completed this, you’re good to go and can start writing business.

It’s a simple but thorough process and the benefits are beyond compare. There’s just no reason not to join SIAA today!
