Well half of your problems are already solved. Good for you. You need to approach carriers that are willing to work with a new agency. I just recently signed on with Progressive for the auto insurance portion of my business as I was previously focusing just on homeowner's. You will also need to obtain E&O insurance. Any carrier anywhere will require you to carry it. With a built in customer base like yours you should do very well.
