What You Should Know When Looking for the Best Insurance Companies for Independent Agents
When you become an independent agent, you can sell insurance products from a range of insurance companies. That means you compare different insurers when working with your clients to get them the best coverage for their needs.
For example, if your client is looking for car insurance coverage for their business, you can show them commercial auto insurance quotes from various insurers. Because not all insurers are the same, your client will be able to easily compare quotes and coverage details. Having more information gives them the chance to buy the coverage that meets their small business’ needs.
So, how do you find the best companies for independent insurance agents? You’ll need to look for an insurer that offers:
- A team of sales and underwriters focused on helping you grow
- Access to tools and technology that makes quoting easy and fast
- Market-leading products and coverages
At The Hartford, we offer all of that and more.

Why the Top Insurance Companies to Work With Are Not the Same for Everyone
Not everyone who sells insurance is looking for the same experience when it comes to working with an insurance company.
One of the first differences you may find between insurance carriers is how they work with a captive agent vs. independent agent. Some insurers may prefer to work more with independent agencies, while others may have a network of captive agents.
Captive agents can only sell the insurance products that the insurer they work for offers. The benefit to this is they’re experts at the types of insurance coverage offered. Independent insurance agencies have the flexibility to sell products from various insurers, giving their clients more options.
