When our franchise division was initially created their charter was to bring together the best owner-operator appraisers from across the country to provide our insurance clients with unparalleled service. 

This dedicated and hard-working network of franchise owners and 249 national hub locations has helped grow both the SCA brand and their own business to the powerhouse level we now enjoy… but we’re not done yet. We’re diligently signing new franchise owners each month to high-growth areas so they can take hold of the American dream by securing their future and fortune under the SCA banner.
