How to Become an Independent Insurance Agent and Start an Insurance Agency

How to Become an Independent Insurance Agent or how to start an independent insurance agency are more common questions today. Learn the steps you need to take to start your own independent insurance agency with this guide from MIAA.

Many Captive Agents wonder how to start a new insurance agency and how to be an independent insurance agent. Existing independent agencies often ask if there are financial opportunities that they would receive if they were part of a larger Insurance Agency Network.

Midwest Insurance Agency Alliance, Inc. (MIAA) is an insurance agency group solely created for insurance agents.

MIAA assists smaller Independent Agencies in obtaining more carriers and helps captive agents, producers, and life/health/financial agents start their new insurance agency. MIAA also works with larger independent insurance agencies to raise commission levels and increase profit sharing with Strategic Partnership Insurance Carriers.

Midwest Insurance Agency Alliance, Inc. (MIAA) is a regional master agency of SIAA, the largest independent insurance agency network in the United States.

Midwest Insurance Agency Alliance (MIAA) is NOT an Insurance Franchise, Insurance Aggregator, Insurance Brokerage, and is not one of the many Insurance Clusters. Have your insurance agency grow instantly BIG with MIAA, put yourself on the map and remain 100% independent!!

Your agency is 100% independent and MIAA doesn't control what you do or how you do it. We will show our members ways that they can increase their revenue, but they are suggestions that aren't required. Our motto is that our members are "Independent, but never alone."

@LeasesAndListings - MIAA only serves the territories in the midwest displayed on our website, but SIAA has other alliance headquarters like ours across the US. Find other SIAA Alliance HQ locations at their website, and our territories in the Midwest at ours listed above.

Does an agent actually remain independent, or is this one of those deals where you are owned by someone else?
