What does it really take to leave employment and start your own insurance brokerage?
Recorded live on Tuesday 14 July 2026, this session explores the journey from uncertainty to independence for UK commercial and high-net-worth insurance brokers.
Hosted by Alistair Body, the conversation features Adam Stanger of Orkney Insurance Brokers and Chris Harvey of South Wales Insurance Brokers. Both share their experience of moving from employed roles to building independent brokerages of their own.
Together, they discuss the questions many brokers face before making the decision: changing targets, bonus structures, client ownership, income potential, business setup, regulatory support and the fear of leaving a familiar role behind.
You will also hear how Momentum Broker Solutions supports independent insurance brokers through its UK-wide Appointed Representative network, made up of over 110 members, helping Broker Partners retain their clients, protect their independence and run their businesses in the way that works for them.
For commercial insurance brokers and HNW insurance professionals considering starting a brokerage, becoming self-employed or exploring the appointed representative model, this episode offers practical insight from people who have already made the journey.
