The Farmers Insurance Agency Owner Program:
The Owner Operator Program provides special access to an expanded portfolio of benefits including:
-
Start-up bonuses ($10,000 office start-up and $5,000 lead generation bonus)
-
Performance bonuses for the 1st three years, in addition to commissions (max bonus of 34.8% and an additional 6% year end annual bonus on Gross Folio Premium)
The Farmers Insurance Agency Owner Operator 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 District Manager and Territory Team that provide a multitude of resources in the form of Agency Business Consultant, Life & Financial Services specialist, Wealth Management Consultants, Commercial Wholesaler, Marketing manager, etc. In addition you will have access to one of the top corporate training programs from the University of Farmers.
