PLATFORM

Our platform lets you keep your focus in the right place.

Are you an insurance agency looking for financial backing and security in the the current landscape? We understand the challenges agencies face in this ever-changing market. Our platform provides our partners with the financial backing and resources needed to expand offerings and grow client bases.

  • When competing with publicly-traded national and private equity funded insurance agencies, access to capital is critical. INSight has the resources to help you fight the non-local competitors in your community.

  • Our technology platform will provide your agents and staff the tools needed to compete against the national agencies calling on your customers. From book of business analytics, rater software, new business proposals, mobile customer apps, cyber security, and more.

  • Protecting your customers’ risk without giving up the relationship is a priority for all local insurance agencies. By combining with INSight’s existing premium volume and contracts, you’ll have a greater chance of directly finding the markets you need for your customers.

  • Becoming part of a geographically and industry-diverse insurance agency will help insulate you from the effects of localized claims, providing a more consistent opportunity for contingent income.

  • Through our relationship with a Omaha-based professional employee organization with over 2,000 employees, we offer the competitive health/dental insurance, retirement, and disability benefits of a national company. We also take on the responsibility of processing payroll and administering the plan for your team.

  • Our centralized bookkeeping and accounting service keeps your agency books accurate and up to date, ensures timely tax filings, generates actionable management reports, and helps keep your focus on your customers.

“I’m very happy with where we ended up and where we’re going.”
