The Farmers Insurance Retail Agency Owner Program is designed to give seasoned, well-capitalized professionals a turn-key system to quickly build a start-up Exclusive Agency. There are other specialized programs that give you the ability to purchase a pre-existing agency, instead of starting from scratch.
Farmers Insurance is not a Franchise Opportunity. There are No Franchise Start-up and No Royalty Fees but you still can take advantage of an established business model and training to grow your own insurance agency.
Our unique program is backed by a local Farmers Team that provide a multitude of resources in the form of Sales Managers, Marketing Specialists, Trainers, Recruiters, a Life & Financial Services specialist and Commercial Wholesaler. In addition you will have access to one of the top corporate training programs from the University of Farmers.
