Empowered Insurance

About Empowered Insurance

An independent insurance agency in Tampa, Florida, built on the idea that people should understand the coverage they buy.

Empowered Insurance LLC is a licensed independent insurance agency headquartered in Tampa, Florida. We were founded by Jorge Soba and Michael Smith around a simple frustration: consumers were being sold policies they could not explain, by people they could not reach afterward.

1 What "independent" means for you

A captive agent works for one carrier and can only show you that carrier's products. We are independent and appointed with multiple commercial carriers, so we can put real alternatives next to each other and tell you where each one is weak. Our advisors are licensed in 30+ states.

2 Educate, Enrich, Empower

That is not a slogan we put on a wall. It is the order we do the work in.

  • Educate - explain how the coverage works, in language that does not require an insurance license to follow.
  • Enrich - find the option that leaves you better off, which sometimes means telling you to keep what you have.
  • Empower - hand you the decision, with the information you need to make it yourself.

3 Leadership

Leads agency operations and the advisor team, and built the systems the agency runs on so clients get consistent service regardless of which advisor they work with.

Michael Smith

Focuses on carrier relationships and product strategy, making sure the plans we can offer are ones we would put our own families on.

4 How we handle your information

We collect only what we need to quote and service your coverage, we tell you before we contact you, and we contact you only in the ways you agreed to. We do not sell your personal information, and we never sell or share your mobile number or SMS opt-in with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing. The details are in our Privacy Policy and SMS Terms.
