Who is ISU?

The ISU Insurance Agency Network (ISU IAN) is not an agency cluster, but a community of independent insurance agency members.  We seek to offer best-in-class insurance solutions for our clients, are committed to remaining independent, while also leveraging the business benefits that come with being part of a large national organization. Being a member of the ISU IAN will align you with a group of like-minded insurance professionals focused on growth, profitability and the sharing of knowledge, expertise and experiences.

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

Strength

The Resources of a National Organization

  • Utilize the market clout of almost $6,500,000,000 premium volume
  • Access national and regional carriers and deal directly with carrier personnel
  • Enjoy profit sharing from your first written premium dollar without volume or loss ratio punishment. We work with agencies to increase premium and lower loss ratios to optimize their returns.
  • The average Member consistently earns more than a 400% return on their ISU Insurance Agency Network Membership investment

Unity

ISU’s community allows an owner to be in business for yourself but not by yourself.

  • Join a growing national network of over 200 independently owned and operated agencies
  • Energize staff with participation in the ISU Complimentary Producer Training Sessions
  • Share and learn from other agency owners in the Agency Principal Forum groups
  • +230 veteran agency owners share enormous breadth and depth of collective wisdom
  • ISU members rate “Community” as the most valuable benefit even beyond the significant direct financial benefits.
