Question

Just got my Fire and Casualty Insurance license in CA. Now what do I do to start a biz as an Insurance Broker

Answer 1

Before you start your own business as insurance broker, I strongly suggest you to join stat farm or farmers insurance and learn more.  Having licenses would give you eligibility but you have to learn more in order to assist the clients by providing the suitable products.

Answer 2

Join one of the different alliance in CA and learn from them.  You have the Latin American Agents Association and the American Agent and Broker Alliance.....both have meetings and conventions and CE classes.....and are well attended.  The LAAA convention is coming up in either May or June and is usually in the Long Beach area.

I have been to both groups' conventions and they are well attended.  You will find agents/brokers there that are willing to help you get started.  Both are good sources for referral of companies willing to use you as a broker.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

Answer 3

You find a company willing to let you sell their insurance - aka, get a contract.
