Agent12 said:Start-up cost for an independent agent? (office equipments, printer(s), fax machine, comp. and laptop, etcs.)
I'm thinking about becoming a independent agent for allstate.
Um... with Allstate you are captive, TTBOMK. You won't be independent... unless they have changed their policy.
I was an Allstate employee at one time.Allstate does not offer contracts to independent agents.
If you want the basic version you're talking about $10 per sq. ft. as the standard for office rent - depends on your area. I can't see needing more than 1,000 sq. ft. and you can grow if you need to which is $1,000 a month for rent.
Secretary/Admin will run $1,600 a month - again, depending on your area. I'm quoting $10 per hour. I'd actually pay $12 per hour which is the going rate for a good office person.
Office equipment you can price out on your own right online - two computers, fax and printer. Probably looking at $5,000 for everything.
I wouldn't even think about doing this without six months of expenses in the bank plus some. Count on around $25,000.
