About
Nearly three decades of independent insurance experience, now built into a franchise platform.
Founded in 1996, Insurance Warehouses of America was built on one core belief: when agents have more access, clients receive better protection. What began as a single independent agency has evolved into a scalable insurance platform designed to support long term growth, compliance, and recurring revenue.
Founder and CEO
Founder and CEO, Insurance Warehouses Franchise, Inc.
Rogy Verghese is the Founder and CEO of Insurance Warehouses Franchise, Inc., the franchisor behind Insurance Warehouses of America. He launched the original IWA agency in 1996 with one core belief: when agents have access to more carriers, clients receive better protection. Three decades later, that idea has grown into a federally trademarked brand and a scalable insurance platform now opening to qualified franchise partners across the country.
Before franchising, Rogy spent nearly thirty years personally building and operating the Warehouse model in Florida. He has worked through hard markets, regulatory shifts, and carrier contractions, and built deep relationships with leading personal, commercial, life, and specialty carriers along the way. The franchise system he is launching today is not a concept on paper. It is the same model he has run, refined, and scaled in the field since 1996.
Rogy is also the Founder of a broader family of companies under Warehouse Company Holdings, Inc., including Title Warehouses of America, Property Warehouses of America, Lending Warehouses of America, and Printing Warehouses of America. Operating five connected brands across insurance, title, real estate, lending, and marketing has given him direct experience with the multi unit systems, compliance discipline, and operational infrastructure that successful franchising demands.
Beyond his own businesses, Rogy has personally taught and trained agents, realtors, and first time homebuyers on real estate and mortgage practices, including Down Payment Assistance programs across Florida. That same training first philosophy now powers the IWA franchise onboarding program, a structured 40 hour virtual classroom built to launch new franchisees correctly and scale them intelligently.
Insurance Warehouses of America operates as a Trusted Choice independent agency and a member of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America, the Big "I". His mission with the IWA Franchise Program is straightforward: give serious producers a proven multi carrier platform with the systems, training, and brand strength to build long term agency equity, without the limits of captive contracts or single carrier structures.
Why a franchise model now
Most insurance agencies are limited. Limited by carrier contracts. Limited by product access. Limited by infrastructure. Insurance Warehouses was built as a warehouse by design. One brand. Multiple carriers. Broad product access. Scalable systems. When markets tighten, independent access matters more than ever.
The insurance industry is entering a new phase. Carrier contractions. Rising premiums. Stricter underwriting. Consumers demanding more options. In this environment, access is power. When you control access, you control opportunity.
