Hello all. When I first got interested in the insurance business I went to a seminar hosted by an insurance company. They had us sign some papers. They said that they were the terms IF I chose to work for them. I requested copies, but no replies from them?? i research the company and don’t like what I’ve been finding. Question, a company can’t force you to work for them can they?

They can't force you to work with them, but they could have already appointed you. And with a lot of companies once you're appointed you have to wait six months before you transfer that appointment to another agency.
We can help you a lot more if you tell us the company.

I've said to friends who have tried to get me into NAA that I would sooner leave the insurance business altogether before I would even consider such a career path.
Good call on avoiding that whole mess. NAA and the like are good for no one.
Going indy means a lot, however. A lot of work! I did it this past summer and couldn't be happier, but it's not without its downsides. Mostly positive, however. Even though I've been self-employed for essentially all of my adult life (now at 41 yo), working from home requires a LOT of discipline. It's easy to get distracted and procrastinate...!
