Quick, I've Got Two Weeks to Get a Biz Going

you have nothing to lose.. go for it.. for a new start up it is very,very hard to get going... i would not worry about first refusal, because they are giving you the opportunity to have something to refuse... i am sure you will make money..

I think you may be right. However, their paperwork tells me a few things about ownership of the book- that I do not quite understand fully.

My rule of thumb operating as an independent agent... ANY assertion of ownership, in the smallest degree, or ANY first right of refusal, both are deal breakers.

Look at it this way, if that's the only way you can do it NOW, then give yourself the extra month. The missed revenues from a single month will likely pale in comparison to being hamstrung by a bad deal. But I am cautious that way and want noone's fingers in my pie but my own.

I figured this response would come from at least somebody on here. This forum is very independent at times, which is good, I like freedom and liberty.
 
you can try one of the clusters, but they are going to be in your pocket also..i think it is siaa that wants you to not only pay them 10,000 but as you must hire a experienced cr.
 
I had an opening weekend, kind of blew it, got one lead, it did not work out too good. I think i'm in over head a little. No training, no experience. Anybody think I could find a P&C agent ready to team up with me? i have the office and the open desk and all. I should put an ad in craigslist....
