100% commission is available for eligible agencies. At ISU Steadfast, our network structure is built to support agency profitability and financial independence.
ISU Steadfast is different by design. Unlike many insurance clusters, aggregators, or other agency networks, we prioritize your agency’s independence. Here’s how we stand out:

  • No required services
  • No loss of control over your agency or book of business
  • No carrier restrictions
  • No equity or ownership stakes

You maintain full autonomy while gaining access to powerful tools, carrier relationships, and incentive programs. We focus on building long-term partnerships with high-quality agencies that share our values. 

While we’re part of the Steadfast Group, we operate independently with a strong U.S. market focus.

There’s no catch—but we’re selective about who we work with. ISU Steadfast has built a high-performing agency network by partnering with agencies that are growth-minded, value transparency, and are committed to long-term success.

We don’t believe in restrictive contracts or hidden fees, but we do believe in aligning with agencies that share our values. If you're serious about agency performance and want a partner that respects your independence, we might be a great fit.
