History

 * Insurance Licensing Services of America, Inc. was founded in Houston, TX in 1997 by Arleen and Ted Taveras when they realized the evident need for a single licensing and compliance resource; something automated that could eliminate the guess work. ILSA started out with initial licensing, renewals, and corporate qualifications.


 * In early 2000, ILSA relocated to its current location in Groesbeck, TX, a community centrally located between Austin, Houston and Dallas, TX. ILSA continued to grow in both size and expertise; adding a wide range of additional compliance related services which included: continuing education tracking, annual returns, corporate tax filings, address changes, affiliations, appointment requests, sanction notifications and surplus lines tax filings. With this increase in services came the natural increase in need for personnel; from just two employees in 1997 to over 65 in 2009.


 * As the need for compliance assistance increases, ILSA continues to expand its services including the recent addition of Insurance Company Licensing and Viatical Settlement Reporting.
