Agency Focus
Having a perpetuation plan for your agency is one of the most important investments you can make in your agency. It will protect you, your customers, your staff as well as your family. It is critically important for all agencies to document their plan, regardless of where they are in their agency lifecycle. That's why we have partnered with Carey Wallace of Agency Focus to help our members build
the plan that is right for them.

can leverage this data to grow your agency's value. In addition, Agency Focus provides guidance and support in order to build strong perpetuation plans that are in line with the agency's goals
and timeline. All plans are supported by financial modeling and the appropriate documentation to ensure the agency's future is protected.
