Aggregators, Alliances & Clusters

Whether you are starting a new agency, moving from captive to independent, acquiring another agency or perpetuating from within, Big I Illinois has the resources to assist in your next professional decision.

The Big I Illinois independent agency landscape has seen many changes over the years, but none more than the development of interagency relationships via groups, clusters, and aggregators. The creation of these models has served the needs of many independent agents over the years through carrier access, scale, pooling of resources, training and education, marketing, and in some models underwriting and placement support. The intent of this worksheet is to highlight questions for you to consider contractually and relationally when researching the potential of partnering with an aggregator or cluster. These models vary in structure and contractual obligations, so it is important to remember it is not "one size fits all" and what works for some agents may not work for you.
