What Does an Independent Insurance Agent Do?
Have you been considering a career as an insurance agent? If so, while researching the possibilities, perhaps you noticed some agents identify themselves as independent, and wondered what this means.

Independent agents are self-employed, pay their own taxes, acquire their own benefits, and offer clients a broader selection of products from various insurers.
