Join our team

Asshield is an independent agency owned by Joshua Williams (opened 2020) — family in insurance since 2009 — with offices in Fort Walton Beach, FL and Lexington, KY and licensed reach across 12 states. We’re hiring people who want to help families and businesses get covered with clear options and real service.

Why Asshield

Work with agents who actually know their clients

We’re growing in Florida and Kentucky markets — multi-carrier, relationship-driven, and focused on coverage that fits. Join a team built by Joshua Williams, who opened Asshield in 2020 after years in insurance since 2009.

  • Real agents — clients talk to people who can explain options, not a script-only call center.
  • Multi-carrier — compare trusted carriers so you can recommend what fits, not a single-shelf product.
  • Growth markets — Fort Walton Beach / FL Gulf Coast and Lexington, KY hubs, with licensed reach across 12 states.
  • Mentorship — learn alongside experienced producers and service staff as you build your book or support clients.

Getting licensed

How to get your insurance license

This is general education, not legal advice. Requirements differ by state and by line of authority. Always confirm current rules with your state’s insurance department (or DFS in Florida).

  1. Check your state’s licensing site for producer/agent requirements (education hours, exams, fees, residency rules).
  2. Complete required pre-licensing education — hours vary by state and by line (e.g. Property & Casualty vs. Life).
  3. Pass the state licensing exam(s) for the lines you want to sell or service.
  4. Submit fingerprinting / background check as required by that state.
  5. Apply for your license with the state; after you’re licensed, seek appointments with carriers through an agency (such as Asshield, if you join our team).

Florida & Kentucky (our office hubs)

  • Florida: Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) — Insurance Agent and Agency Services. Start at myfloridacfo.com/division/agents for licensing information, and use the state’s licensing overview / MyProfile portal for applications.
  • Kentucky: Kentucky Department of Insurance — insurance.ky.gov (producer licensing).

Other states Asshield is licensed in

Asshield also serves clients in AL, TX, IN, OH, TN, NC, SC, GA, AR, and PA (in addition to FL and KY). If you live in one of those states, check that state’s insurance department for producer requirements — rules differ.

For the right candidates, Asshield can discuss mentorship and possible sponsorship pathways after an interview. We don’t guarantee sponsorship or pay for every licensing path — it depends on the role and fit.
