Q: What does AgentSecure do?
A: AgentSecure is a technology enhanced wholesaler services provider that offers market access to national carriers and real-time comparative rating for both commercial and personal lines in 48 states. Please see our Home Page for a list of carriers and program highlights.
Q: How long is the approval process?
A: The membership process normally takes 5 to 7 business days depending upon how long the background check takes - background check may be waived if you already have an appointment with one of our national carriers. We also require attendance in one of our online training classes which are held every Tuesday at 1:00 pm Central time. Agents are also required to submit a copy of their E&O declarations page (dec page), copies of your state licenses and a signed copy of the AgentSecure Producer Agreement.

Q: Do I really need three years
of experience to get an appointment?
A: Yes. Exceptions may be requested and we will evaluate those requests on a case-by-case basis.
Q: Will I get sub-producer appointments
with each carrier?
A: No. You will access our carriers via our website. However, if you have appointments with some of our carriers, we do have the ability to provide quotes under your contracts. We have a self-service tool for entering and maintaining your carrier profiles. Also, as you grow and obtain your own contracts we make the transition of your book to that new contract a painless process.

Q: Who owns the business?
A: You own the business by way of contract with AgentSecure. The Producer
Agreement you are asked to sign clearly spells this out.
Q: Can I write both Personal and Commercial Lines policies?
A: Yes, but there are experience requirements that must be met. Usually both lines of business can be accessed if your agency has the required experience in both commercial and personal lines.
