<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'> :huh: I am a newly licensed Life Agent in CA working for a small(3man) financial services company. However, it's not working out and I have decided to start my own agency. Where do I start? How do I start? I plan to work out of my home until I find an office, but what should I expect ot encounter? Do I need a FMO or broker/dealer license? Please help.</span>

Hello,

Look at onlyfinacialgroup.com. I have tried many things all the way from direct writers to banks to attempting buyout of small p an c agency. I think onlyfinacialgoup is probably the easiest plan to pay off with. It is strictly life, however, it is high volume and effective.

P and C has the residuals but it is hell getting started.
High risk auto seems to be the easiest way to get started with p and c. Buy a huge yellow page ad and wait for the phone to ring. Your retention will be poor but you can broker fee and try to build some preferred business as you go forward.
