Start-Up Costs

Expected costs include your time, travel, food, and refreshments for hospital "lunch and learn" sessions, and any additional marketing materials you choose to purchase. You can expect to invest one thousand dollars per month in the first year as you get started. This is not a franchise or brokerage; there are no franchise fees and this business does not necessitate a brick-and-mortar operation.

Long-Term Revenue

The model directly compensates you for the work you put in and offers the possibility of long-term passive income. The model is commission-based but also includes a monthly residual. Each new policy that activates within your exclusive region generates a $10 commission. After enrollment, Territory Partners receive monthly residual income for all active policies in the region, with an average policy life span of over 73 months. With this residual income model, your business can gain momentum, achieve longevity, and provide the opportunity for uncapped income.
