Independent Marketing Organization (IMO)

An Independent Marketing Organization (IMO) is a marketing organization that contracts and supports agents selling insurance products, much like an FMO. The terms IMO and FMO are often used interchangeably.

Where a distinction is drawn, an IMO is sometimes positioned a tier below an FMO in a carrier's distribution hierarchy — but in everyday use the labels overlap. Both recruit and support downline agents and earn overrides on production.
