    1.Determine what type of insurance your company will offer
    2.    Call your state insurance commissioner's office or visit its 
    3.    Consider making your business entity a limited liability company (LLC)
    4.    Obtain errors and omissions
    5.    Complete the state forms required to make the LLC an insurance agency

    I would suggest talking to an insurance lawyer or specialists first so you know exactly what you have to do and how much it will cost. A lot of lawyers will offer a free consultation. Then it is important to study auto insurances in each state -- each state may vary in rates, compliances, coverage types offered, etc. It seems this would be a lot to take in, so be prepared. I would also suggest getting a team together instead of trying to start something this big as a one-man show.
