The Direct
Business Model

Insurance & Securities

You’ve built your financial practice around an insurance or direct business model. Now you face a difficult decision: Affiliate with an insurance company-owned broker-dealer that offers little independence, or choose an independent firm that is lacking in its ability to fully accommodate your business model.

At SCF, we offer a better solution. We provide you with the flexibility of independence, the power of leading technology, and the resources of a full-service, boutique broker-dealer. We have a rich history in the insurance arena, so we understand these unique products. Simply put: We step up when many other firms shy away.

 

Extensive product selection.
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

Our complete and balanced suite of products provides you with everything you need to meet and exceed your clients’ expectations. We have direct agreements with some of the biggest names in the industry, so you have access to a full menu of financial solutions.

EIA friendly.
No haircuts. No middle man.

Keep more of your revenue with our haircut-free, top street commissions. Paid directly to you from carriers. And best of all, we give you credit toward your securities production for any EIA business you write, which can potentially bump you up to a higher payout level.

 

business-models-direct-minimal-paperwork

Minimal paperwork.
A single page form?
Hard to believe. But true.

Most of our corporate officers began their careers as advisors themselves. Their experiences have shaped our culture, eliminating unnecessary steps. That same culture has spilled over into every area of our firm — even resulting in streamlined paperwork requirements. If we don’t need it, we don’t require it — which ultimately means saved time and less work for you. We’ve even trimmed several of our forms down
to a single 1-page document.
