What products are you looking to offer? Also, do you just want to be a franchise and sell one companies products, or be an independent agent?

Leaning towards going with a name brand. Like to begin with P&C as everyone needs it.

New so starting out in PC as indy probaly not an option.

I know a MET Life agent that does pretty well. Allstate gets a lot of initial business, but I hear they have trouble keeping it. You could consider getting an independant agency that represents several companies to sponsor you.
