Up In Smoke

Nothing prepares you more than jumping in. But make sure you have some money saved up to cover yourself for as long as you can. Be prepared to work extra hours. Reach out to as many people that you think can help you as you can to find out the most efficient ways for your business. There are many ways to go about in this business and believe me no one FMO knows it all.Currently a captive agent (MAPD & Supps) although looking to go independent next year. What are some things I need to look at prior to making the move. I've read other threads on here regarding FMO's and I know I must make sure they grant a release if things go sour. Also, never assign commissions. What are some other things I need to know? Would I need to get an LLC and register as an Agency/GA if I'm going the independent route? I appreciate any input on this topic.
