Independent Insurance Agent

Exclusive Independent Insurance Agent – Desjardins

Have you ever imagined owning your own business, but not having to build a brand from scratch?

Desjardins is inviting entrepreneurial leaders to become Licensed Exclusive Independent Insurance Agents: a rare opportunity to own and grow a thriving, client-focused business while leveraging the strength, reputation, and support of one of Canada’s most trusted financial institutions.

This is a 100% on-site opportunity, operating out of agent-owned office space, where you set the tone, build the culture, and create meaningful connections within your community.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

YOU’RE THE BOSS

This isn’t a franchise. This is your independent business, backed by a powerful national brand.

As a Desjardins Exclusive Independent Insurance Agent, you will:

• Recruit, hire, coach, and lead your own professional team
• Operate from your own on-site office, embedded in the community you serve
• Shape the client experience using your unique leadership style
• Enjoy the flexibility to balance professional ambition with personal life
• Act as CEO and employer, while benefiting from Desjardins’ proven systems and support

Your business. Our brand. Unlimited potential.

Make an Impact Where It Matters

Being on-site in your own office means you’re not just running a business; you’re building real relationships. You’ll help clients protect their present and prepare for the future by offering a broad range of trusted products, including:

• Auto Insurance
• Homeowners and Property/Casualty Insurance
• Life Insurance
• Living Benefits and Financial Services

Your office becomes a local hub where trust, service, and expertise come together.

What Desjardins Does for You

We don’t just hand you the keys; we help you succeed.

You’ll receive:

• Backing from a major, well-capitalized Canadian insurer
• 5–6 months of paid training (including benefits and licensing)
• Business Builder Compensation to support operational expenses
• Ongoing coaching from a dedicated Regional Director
• World-class marketing support and business planning tools
• Expert resources in Underwriting, Claims, and Marketing

You bring the vision. We bring the support to help you scale it.

You’ll Thrive in This Role If You Are:

• An entrepreneurial, self-motivated leader
• Passionate about building long-term client relationships
• Results-driven and adaptable
• Highly ethical with strong professional integrity
• Comfortable working independently while leading a team
• Financially stable and prepared to invest capital
• Philanthropically minded and community-oriented

Preferred qualifications

• University degree or college diploma
• Minimum of 5 years experience in management and sales
