As part of our corporate support of the Independent Agency channel, Foremost Insurance Group (Foremost) has been identified as the brand under which we will market all of our Independent Agency business. We recognize the unique aspects on Independent Agencies and the need to provide products, processes and systems that match up to the way you do business.
All products currently available for Independent Agents to sell under the Farmers, F.A.C.T., Bristol West, Foremost Insurance Group, and Zurich Small Business brands will be re-branded to the Foremost name over time.
Our commitment to Independent Agents is to provide one of the broadest product suites in the industry to meet customer needs, an appetite for profitable growth and easy-to-use online platforms for business transactions.
The full transition to the Foremost brand will take time. Look for announcements of our transition activities as they are launched in our Independent Agent markets. Over time, Independent Agents will benefit from:
- A single brand for all Independent Agency products including auto, home, personal specialty, non-standard auto, and commercial lines where products are available
- A single agency agreement for all Independent Agents as products transition to Foremost
- A profit sharing program that coordinates all products for qualifying agents beginning in the 2010 calendar year
- A single agency relationship manager
- A single agency portal to access all of our products online
