Independent Market Solutions (IMS) is designed exclusively for Rhode Island agents to assist with market access and establish a clear pathway to direct appointments with many carriers. The IMS program affords agencies of all sizes the opportunity to add carrier appointments as IMS subproducers.

That means your agency can have a direct working relationship with insurance companies, improving efficiency and allowing you to grow your relationships with company staff. And, as you write more policies as a subagent, certain insurance markets feature the opportunity to “graduate” to a direct appointment once the carrier’s minimum premium threshold and performance standards are met—all at no additional cost to you.

IMS helps your agency earn more revenue and build a sustainable business.
