State Farm agent team member opening an independent agency

I’ve been with State Farm for 2 years as a top producer in my region. I have done a lot of research and planning with the goal of opening my own independent agency this August.

With that being said, is there a waiting period from the time that I leave my current State Farm agent, to when I can open my own agency? My ideal scenario would be to open up agency no later than 2 weeks after I leave State Farm so that I don’t lose my edge, however I’m not sure if there are any laws/rules that prohibit me from doing so.

Thank you for your input!

I’m not sure if what I want is even possible, but I’m looking for an aggregator with a one time entry fee, offers immediate binding authority, a good exit clause, and offers 13+ carriers.

I will have a physical location, and I’m in NW FL.
