Hi,

I assumed from your post that you live in Alabama...I'm quick that way. :wink:

Here's a link that takes you to one of the better informational sites on Alabama insurance testing. Read through it thoroughly, and become as familiar as you can when you see the link to the content outline.

Good luck, and study hard.

ooh, xpat, I loves me some generational smack talk. That arilcte is way off base. I certainly never made anyone feel bad for menial jobs; I held fast food and retail jobs for years. Anyway, the Gen X'ers are only 15 ish years older than the Millenials, so generally we are not their parents but their aunts, uncles, older siblings.The millenials' parents share the blame for what they become: /cue dramatic music/ the Baby Boomers. Ah, yes, as a Gen X child of pre-Boomer parents (the Silent Generation), I of course shoulder no blame whatsoever.None.glad you are feeling better, Wormy.

Hi, here are a few tips to start up your agent.

Advise is Important. You need to take advantage of professional well intended advice, if you are in a business, you need to look into getting some liability insurance to defend against negligence claims made by the client. This coverage protects you from alleged failure to perform on the part of financial loss or caused by an error/ omission in the service or product.

Consider vesting your equity. It is difficult to find the right co-founders for your business; you need to find a similar playing field for your work ethic and timeline investment. You need to make good and sound decisions for your company, consider vesting your equity over time so you have a fair solution.

Protection form clients. Have a contract that states that you can go after the client for the money or legal cost owed; you don’t want to get into a legal situation in which your client refused not to pay and then walk away.

These are some things to lookout for in the first few months. good luck.

Agents cannot do this. People do not pay agents, they pay insurance companies.

People who don't pay for their insurance simply end up with no insurance.
