Financial Backing

We invest in your business because we believe in you. Once you become an Agency Business Owner, you’ll receive our Agent Finance Plan (AFP) designed to help you get your agency up and running with staff and office space rental.

AFP supports and provides income for new agents for up to 48 months with benefits including:

  • A base advance of funds drawn against future income
  • Reimbursement for approved staffing and office rental expenses
  • Easy repayment terms and a generous forgiveness package

Plus, right from the start, you’ll keep all earned new business sales commissions and life renewal service commissions on any business you write.

Marketing Resources

All Agency Business Owners have access to internal online marketing tools specially designed to help make your business a success.

We offer online resources that provide a one-stop shop for all branded resources. From brochures and office signage to social media content and comprehensive direct marketing materials, we’ll give you excellent tools to promote your business and better serve your customers.

Corporate Partnership

To boost your success, you’ll have corporate support as well as access to one-on-one local business consultants.

Plus, our outstanding tools and resources, including online claims, digital proof of insurance, and excellent 24/7 customer service representatives, are always available to agents and customers.

Endless Opportunity

As an American Family agent, your success is in your hands.

With hard work and dedication, your agency can expand and grow, creating unlimited earning potential along with a flexible and stable career.

And because you won’t need to buy in or purchase a big book of business, once you’re appointed and licensed you’ll simply be able to hire your team and get started.

To inspire you even further, American Family frequently recognizes and rewards agents who do an outstanding job. Achieving sales and earning goals, and other accomplishments, can be rewarded with exciting travel opportunities (recent trips have included Hawaii, Monte Carlo and Switzerland), bonuses and more!
