Excerpt from the Workbook 7 Step Insurance Agency Business Plan:

Your insurance agency business plan outlines the essential elements of a successful business plan for your service related business.  

KEY CONSIDERATION

As you no doubt have discovered, people don't like to think about insurance -- even bankers don't. Your upbeat, positive presentation will go further than you can possibly imagine.

STRONGEST ADVANTAGE

People aren't going to stop needing insurance. In fact, the need is growing constantly. It seems the more sophisticated our society becomes, the more important it becomes to be insured.

STRONGEST DISADVANTAGE

There's a long learning curve to providing good products and good service in the insurance industry. If you haven't got that background, don't even think about it.

OVERCOMING THE DISADVANTAGE WITH YOUR INSURANCE AGENCY BUSINESS PLAN

Prove that you have the experience to make your agency successful.

This is one industry where you really need experience from the bottom up. The sales techniques, the products, developing a client base, advertising, and lots and lots about the rules surrounding the industry -- these are all critical to your success.

Use your biographical summary to prove that you have the marketing background and skill to make your insurance agency successful.

Hanging out a shingle just doesn't cut it. Building a strong insurance agency isn't easy. It takes lots of time, and lots of skill. Be sure that your business plan for your insurance agency sets out in detail:

  • Your prominence in the community;
  • Your existing strong portfolio;
  • Any industry recognition that you have received;
  • Awards and recognition that you have received;
  • Your family's involvement in the community, such as spouse's role in the local sports teams;
  • Your educational background, with emphasis on insurance-related training;
  • Your managerial experience; and
  • Your accomplishments, no matter where they are.

This is not a time to be shy. If you can't convince your banker to trust you, how can you ever hope to attract clients who trust you

OTHER PLUSSES FROM YOUR INSURANCE AGENCY BUSINESS PLAN

What is it exactly that will make your business successful? What gives you the edge?

Is it a particular product line that is very outstanding?

Is it your personal strength in the community?

Whatever it is that will set you apart, make it apparent in your insurance agency business plan. Don't expect your lender to guess what it is -- s/he won't be able to. So state it right up front and be proud of it.

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR YOUR INSURANCE AGENCY BUSINESS PLAN AND AN INSURANCE AGENCY MARKETING PLAN

For statistical information for your marketing plan for an insurance agency, go to BizMiner

At the home page, look at the bottom of the page for the "Insurance" category. Here you can drill down to more specific types of insurance industry companies, such as:

  • Insurance agents and brokers
  • Life Insurance carriers
  • Mortgage guarantee insurance
  • Warranty insurance and
  • Title insurance

Each type of insurance company has two reports. The Market Research Report provides data from nearly 175,000 firms. This is the information that your lender will use to evaluate your business, so it is an excellent idea for you to review it as well. You may get the report for all of the U.S., or just for your state, whichever is more appropriate for you. It provides information on sales volume, market share, sales per employee, startup activity, and a great deal more. The Industry Financials provides norms for your industry, important because your lender will have access to these reports.

Be sure to look in the left hand column of that page for VIEW ALL REPORTS, then DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION compiled from US Census statistics. This, combined with the Market Research Report, will form the foundation of your business plan.  

YOUR LIKELY LENDER/INVESTOR

If you are focusing on one or two insurance companies, look to them first for startup financing. If they cannot provide the funding directly, they probably have a real good idea of who/what can provide it.  

Also check with the SBA   

YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE

The internet is such a pervasive force in modern marketing that you will certainly want to use its power for your own business. See the best web host for more information on my preferred web host.

T. Howard Hanover

When my partner and I opted to form our own agency, it demanded a lot more time and energy than we had originally anticipated.  We originally thought, too, that our business plan would resemble a proposal we give prospective clients.  As you know, it doesn't.  Thanks for the advice.

I followed your suggestion and approached our major carriers for backing.  They have had challenges of their own this past year, so they recommended a bank that they dealt with extensively over the years.  Taking that recommendation into the bank was the cherry on top.  Geographically speaking, we would never have approached that bank.  But with the recommendation it was a slam dunk.

As an independent agent I feel like we can really serve our clients, not just sell policies.  What a difference in outlook.  I wish I had done it years ago.
