I have seen alot of feedback that independent is the way to go rather than being captive. It only makes sense, however, I have zero understanding of how to become an independent agent. How do you become an independent agent? What companies can or are commonly used/available to underwrite/issue policies for independent agents? For example a real estate broker could use CountryWide to underwrite loans. As a captive agent, for example a WL policy, I simply submit the application/submission packet provided by my company for underwriting and issuance of a policy if approved. I have no idea who I can contact to get applications/submission packets/etc and use to underwrite. Any help in the right direction would be appriciated, I am in the Youngstown Ohio area. 330-883-5287
