We work with all types of agents, from scratch agents, to ex captives, and agents that have a book of business and just can’t meet the carrier quotas or aren’t able to get a direct appointment. As you know there is a lot of competition in your area. To compete you really need to have the markets that the others have at the least otherwise you will find yourself writing the business that no one else wants.

The concept of the SIAA alliance began in 1983 with the creation of the first Master Agency – Satellite Agency Network Group (SAN Group). Smaller independent agencies kept running into roadblocks because of their size, low commissions and access to competitive companies. The idea was to create a Master Agency to help grow these agencies’ reach and profitability.
In 1995, after SAN Group proved it could give smaller agencies a larger reach, a group of insurance executives and consultants wanted to repeat this success. Together, they formed a pilot program and worked to lay the foundation of what would become SIAA.
