It is also important for you to know how much it would cost to set up an agency through State Farm and Allstate. Also, I would like you to go through the following link- http://www.ampminsure.org/insuranceagents/about3407.html Regards, Roddick	roddick Senior member Joined: 05 Oct 2005 Posts: 962 143.16 Dollars($)

Allstate pays for my advertising, my equipment and many of my supplies; to name just a few of the perks. I would suggest talking to as many people as you can, both captive and independent and get their take on it. Feel free to PM me any time. _________________ Life moves pretty fast.
