FirstChoice: A Vision for Growth
FirstChoice, a MarshBerry Company, is one of the largest and most respected insurance networks in the United States. Since its inception in 2015, FirstChoice has focused on giving agents the resources, tools, and strategic support needed for sustained and profitable revenue growth.
A Strategic Start
FirstChoice (formally known as First Choice Agents Alliance) was established in 2015 when many captive agents faced challenges expanding their commercial portfolios due to limited market access. FirstChoice addressed this issue by offering access to a broader range of commercial opportunities.
This initial focus on market access was the foundation for the organization’s growth. Later, FirstChoice expanded its offerings to include tools and resources to support agents in navigating the complexities of the insurance marketplace.
A Comprehensive Agency Member Network
In 2017, FirstChoice updated its business model to become an agency member network, offering a new menu of services for agents looking to thrive in the competitive insurance landscape. This included direct carrier access, strategic business planning, advanced technology solutions, and a comprehensive education platform.
This new model enabled FirstChoice to assist hundreds of captive agents in the transition to independent agency ownership. As a result, it quickly evolved into one of the fastest-growing insurance networks in the United States, with member agencies spanning 38 states and counting.
A Strategic Alliance with MarshBerry
In 2022, FirstChoice joined forces with MarshBerry creating a platform that continues to deliver high value to agents and agencies seeking sustainable revenue growth.
