What is the best business to run within my insurance agency?
I have an independant insurance agency in Arkansas and would like additional sources of income. What business would be profitable and co-exist smoothly together?

The problem I see in your field is that the internet sales of auto and home insurance is rapidly replacing insurance agents. Maybe consider real estate brokerage( a broker can have their own agency and the agents do all the leg work), college loan brokerage, brokerage of prepaid funeral services, brokerage of dental/vision care insurance, farm crop insurance, general liability insurance, brokerage of tax preparation(you get the clients, someone else prepares the returns), or consider learning finanical planning and becoming certifiated CFP(however this field is rapidly becoming overloaded. .

Independent insurance sales is a challenging field, isn't it?

Have you considered financial planning? As you write financial plans for people, it often points out insurance needs in their portfolios.

You could also expand into brokerage products.....get your Series 7, so that you can sell stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc. This will give you the ability to deal with your clients' entire financial picture, rather than just their "insurance" needs.

Not really a "quick" fix, but a longer range career expansion.

Premium financing. A lot of premium finance companies make arrangements to kick back some of the interest to the originating agency.


Insurance MAN
I'd agree with the premium financing answer. You can often see pretty decent returns from finance comopanies. Just please dont become one of those hospital indemnity and travel insurance sliders, that sticks their clients with a 39% APR and gives all insurance agents a bad name. Unfortunatley they still exist and make us ethical agents look bad.

Another idea is property management. Depending on the laws in AR, i'm sure you insure investment properties for clients, what about managing their properties for them? normally that requires marketing, lease agreements, collecting rent and coordinating repairs. you get a percentage right off the top of the rent. Just an idea.

In my current agency, there is a department of financial advisors that go along with life & health insurance. In my last agency, they used to do taxes. I have also seen real estate offices with insurance offices but usually they work out of a different location but have the same owner.
