Best carriers to be associated with?

[lemmonludes]

I'm an independent broker in Florida, currently licensed in Property and Casualty, and planning to get my Lifeor Health license soon.. I'm also considering getting my CFP certification but working at an agency that mostly focuses on home and auto insurance. What carriers would be good for offering 401(k)s, IRAs and other financial products? If I become a CFP who should I get appointed with for those products? We currently work with carriers like Safeco, Hartford, Kemper, and Progressive. Any advice is appreciated

You'll need to partner with carriers that work with independent advisors, fidelity and vanguard are the first that come to mind, but there are a lot more. Getting the cfp will help you get appointed with these companies or you can go through broker dealers if you want

Thanks. Do you have any recommendations for broker dealers that are a good fit for new independent advisors just starting out?
