Independence

The value of complete independence is a foundational belief of the Network.

  • You retain your name and image
  • You own 100% of your agency and you make 100% of the operating decisions
  • You own 100% of your book of business and you keep 100% of the commissions it earns
  • You own 100% of your carrier appointments and you alone decide which to consolidate with ISU
  • You alone commit to the ISU Insurance Agency Network – if you ever leave we don’t charge an exit penalty fee
