IIA of IL Launches New Market Access Program

IIA of IL Launches New Market Access Program: Independent Market Solutions

Access to markets shouldn’t prevent you from writing business. The IIA of IL understands this and has joined forces with 14 state associations to develop Independent Market Solutions (IMS) – a low minimum, standard commission market access solution to fit any need for any size agency.

IMS facilitates relationships between agents who are unable to secure company appointments due to any number of reasons, and carriers with an appetite for writing property coverage.

Key Features:

• No joining costs or monthly fees • Low volume commitments Standard commissions plus profit sharing • Agent owns 100% of expirations • Own your book of business • Sub-producer appointments • Direct working relationship with carriers to help you build your relationships • Opportunity for direct appointments when minimum volume thresholds are met • Exclusive IIA of IL program • New carriers/products being added regularly • Exceptional customer service

New/Small Agency Value

After the contract process, new or small agencies with little or no direct appointments can begin writing polices immediately through the exclusive IMS program. When starting your agency, access to markets is critical to gain customers and grow your business. Without direct appointments, serving customers can be a challenge. IIA of IL’s exclusive IMS program connects small agencies to carriers so they can begin writing business on day one.

You’ll start building relationships directly with carriers while earning standard commissions. And, you’ll own your book of business.

Mid/Large Agency Value

You’ve worked hard to earn your clients’ business, so why turn away a request on a risk that your agency doesn’t currently write? As a mid to large-sized agency, you’re often presented with niche pieces of business. Turn to IMS to satisfy your clients’ need without taking on additional minimums or placing less desirable risks with an existing market. Our market access system lets you write the policy you need, when you need it. No minimums – no strings. With IMS, you’ll own your book of business, earn standard commissions as a sub-producer, and receive exceptional customer service. Plus, there are no joining or monthly fees.
