Is that really the standard in LA?

Close. Some agencies pay higher but require you to help pay for CSRs. If there is the ability to negotiate, try to do it on the renewals. That is how you can make real income.

What is the standard agency fee?

---

Completely depends. Depends on how much work the policy takes and depends on the premium. On your standard 8-10k gas station, I would always go for $300-400. Just a mom and pop $600 lawn business, I'd put $50. I've heard of people putting $10,000 agency fees on trucking companies and such.

And are you in the business?

I owned an agency at one point then sold it.
