Best Answer

A general agency is usually an agency that allows other agencies to write business through them for specialty kinds of insurance business. A general agency may offer unusual types of insurance that an Independent Agency may need once in a while and needs the expertise and access to certain companies or products that they would not normally need. I have used general agencies to write horse mortality insurance, insurance for county and city governments packages, certain farming insurance packages, and other things that I need help in experts and company access. I would not write enough of these type of business to learn everything about these businesses needs and I would not have enough of this business to obtain a contract with companies that put together these special packages to meet the clients needs.
