Joining Primerica FAQs


What is the Primerica Business Opportunity?

Primerica representatives build their own independent financial services careers with Primerica, leveraging the company's training, marketing, sales tools, and business management systems. Representatives can focus on building their independent financial services businesses to earn extra income or pursue a financial services career. Primerica's independent representatives obtain required state and/or federal financial licenses to offer Primerica's products and services. Once licensed, Primerica's independent representativesii earn commissions based on personal sales and override income on the sales of the team members they recruit, train and supervise.

Primerica's licensed representatives help families understand where they are on their financial journey and provide a financial GPS to help them prepare for a more secure future. A complementary Financial Needs Analysis provides personalized information based on the client's needs and goals that may include establishing an emergency fund, paying down debt, becoming properly protected with term life insuranceiii and investing for retirement or saving for collegeiv.

The costs associated with becoming an independent Primerica representative are relatively low and primarily offset the cost of obtaining a life insurance license including pre-licensing training, exams, and license appointment fees. These costs are generally much higher than Primerica's initial business entry costs. New Primerica representatives complete an Independent Business Application (IBA) and pay a one-time fee of $99 in the U.S. or $103.95 (includes applicable taxes) in Canada, plus $25 per month ($28 in Canada) to access Primerica Online, the company's business support system.
