Learn more about our history and what we value most.

The Insurance Network Built by Agents for Agents

The ISNE network was founded in 1999 by three well-respected insurance agency owners. These founders were passionate about solving the challenges that independent agents were facing. They wanted to create a business model in which like-minded agents could benefit from broader access to carriers, grow as a result of larger-scale bargaining power, and increase revenue and profits to their agencies.

ISNE has staying power and is still owned by the original families. Today, ISNE is a thriving network with 64 agency participants in 112 locations across Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire. We have over 100 carrier relationships, with 31 preferred partners and an aggregated premium volume exceeding $1 billion.

When a group of agents with common goals and values works together, it brings sophistication and security to each agency’s operations. With the insurance industry under immense pressure, the ISNE alliance is poised to quickly pivot to address current and changing market conditions. Together, we can better solve the issues facing our participants today and ensure financial stability for their agencies’ futures.
