Hello Everyone,
This is my first post, but I've been reading through many of the current posts and I can't seem to find a checklist/road map for what's needed to start an independent agency in Michigan?
I would also be interested in any additional thoughts/ideas.
A little bit about me is that I have been working for a captive Allstate agent for about 2 months now and it doesn't feel like a great fit at all. I hate the idea of not being able to offer clients options as well as several other factors.
From the beginning it's been my plan to begin my own agency and started with Allstate to learn the products and the process.
I've searched the internet and I've seen several different sites that say I need to have one thing or another, but I'm just looking for a succinct list. E/O insurance? Llc? CGL? Thanks for any help provided!
