You’re completely right—every driver needs
car insurance
, so it could be a great business to get into.Starting a car insurance company, however, is no small undertaking. It involves many steps, such as:
- Creating a business plan. Your business plan will be the bones of the operation. With it, you will set goals, figure out your financial needs, and identify potential risks.
- Determining the company’s legal structure. Take some time to do some research on whether you want your company to be a sole proprietorship, LLC, corporation, or something else.
- Coming up with and registering a company name.
- Obtaining a physical property for the business.
- Applying for a tax ID number and registering with your state through your state insurance commissioner’s office.
- Getting all necessary licenses and permits in your state.
- Hiring a team and marketing the business.
