It's really hard to start an agency from scratch, it's even hard to do it without any help.

That's why it's so important, either through luck, hard work or a combination of both to find it.

Everything from the initial operating capital to basic market access can slow things down when your starting.

But those few key partnerships will shine brightest during those most demanding times of need.

That's what I talked to Danny Neely, of Neely & Wade Insurance, about his story getting an agency off the ground.

P.S. There's a lot of help being given out here.
