price quotes quickly, accurately and free over the Internet. InsureSeek
has patented
software that enables its Internet-based agency to offer price quotes
and sell policies to
an unlimited number of Internet users.


With a
$107 billion total
U.S. market share for personal automobile insurance, InsureSeek can
attract a significant
portion of the market share by marketing exclusively over the Internet.
InsureSeek can
market 24-hours-a-day on high profile Web sites such as Wall Street
Journal, NBC News, and
SmartMoney that attract the most profitable prospects. Because of the
high barriers of
entry there is currently no competition.
