Our Thesis

Independence should mean independence. The industry stopped believing that. We didn't.

Most aggregators are built to capture agents: upfront fees, commission splits, non-competes, exit penalties. The larger you grow, the more they take.

ISG United was built by an agent who lived it, and it is run today by a team who lived it too. The model runs the other way: no upfront fees, 100% commission to the member, and profit sharing that flows back to the agencies producing the premium. Your book stays yours. Your name stays on the door.

How We Engage

Leadership led. No middle layer.

Every conversation starts with the people who built the program and still write business themselves. That is the whole engagement model.

  • 01

    You talk to leadership, first call to last.

    The first conversation is with the people who set the terms, not a sales desk reading from a script.

  • 02

    We answer the hard questions in the first ten minutes.

    Fees, splits, ownership, exits. Nothing waits for a follow up call or a signature.

  • 03

    If we are not the right fit, we say so.

    Sending an agent somewhere better is a fair outcome. Honesty is the first deliverable.

10 Crucial Questions to Ask Before Joining Any Insurance Agency Group

Upfront fees. Commission splits. No profit sharing. Lack of ownership. Know exactly what to ask before you sign, so you don't find out too late what you actually agreed to.

What You Get

Three things the other programs won't give you.

The features every ISG member gets, and the features most aggregators either bury in the contract or charge extra for.

Why We Exist

Built by an agent. Run by a team of them.

That is why we built ISG United, so other agents would never have to experience what I did.

Brian Robinson spent eleven years as a captive agent. When he went independent in 2008, he joined an aggregator that took a piece of everything he built. In 2016, he launched ISG United, a network built on partnership, not control.

Today ISG United is run by a leadership team of former agents and agency owners, serving 120+ member agencies across 10 states. Our contract is still short enough to read in one sitting. Members still keep 100% of their commissions. Their names are still on their doors.

“I built the program I wished had existed.”
