Information

Launching a brokerage has never been more achievable, but success depends on far more than finding clients. Whether starting from scratch, spinning out from an existing firm or joining a network, brokers face a series of critical decisions that will shape the future of their business from day one.

In this interactive workshop, delegates will work in teams to build a brokerage from the ground up. From defining a proposition and selecting the right operating model to securing insurer relationships, attracting talent and planning for growth, teams will navigate the opportunities and challenges of creating a successful brokerage before presenting their strategy to the room.

  • Choosing the right route to market: independent, network or spin-out
  • Building a proposition that stands out in a competitive market
  • Balancing growth, investment and long-term sustainability
  • Making the key decisions that shape a successful brokerage
