COLUMBUS, Ohio | Two Ohio companies – Indium and Secured Advantage – are
partnering to support independent insurance agents in securing better market
access, increasing revenue, and growing business.
Both companies were founded by independent insurance
agents who are passionate about improving insurance operations and supporting other independent agents by solving industry problems they have experienced
first-hand.
Indium is a market access network that offers the most agent-friendly partnership agreements in the industry, along with solutions for agency growth,
profitability, staff development, and perpetuation.
“Indium is always looking for strategic partners in the marketplace and Secured Advantage has a unique value proposition to independent agents,”
said Chad Eddy, CEO of Indium. “This is a complementary service to our agents as well. As two
companies founded by agents for agents, it only makes sense we work together to provide greater value to the independent agency channel.”
Secured Advantage is a partnership of independent agencies that allows each member to enjoy the benefits of a large
operation – like contingency sharing, workplace benefits, and financial
services – while retaining their own identity and remaining
independent.
“Partnering with Indium provides expanded market access to our members from a
first-class organization,” said Ted Rusinoff, National Sales
Director at Secured Advantage. “We always look for new ways to enhance the
independence of members, and Indium’s business model will accomplish that for everyone involved.”
The two organizations are excited to
create additional value for agents in the independent agency
channel.
