COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE

As your Independent Insurance broker, our goal is to provide you with the best insurance products for coverage, service, and price. Our role is to provide you with personalized service, advice, policy maintenance and to advocate for you when you experience a claim.

Brokerage compensation forms part of your insurance premium. The following outlines the lines of business that we can provide and the range of applicable compensation, as a percentage of the premium, that you pay.

 

Commercial Property / Equipment Breakdown 10% - 20%

Professional Liability 10% - 20% 

Ocean Marine / Cargo 10% - 20%

Surety 10% - 40%  

Fidelity/Crime 10% - 20%

Commission is paid annually for both new and renewal business and any mid-term policy transaction that incurs additional premium. If there is an increase in the compensation provided by your insurance provider, we will notify you.

 

In addition, Insurers recognize our efforts through a Contingent Commission contract. Payment of this Commission is dependent on a combination of growth, profitability, loss ratio, volume and retention. It is based on our entire portfolio of business with that Insurer and not on individual policies. Contingent Commission is not guaranteed.

 

From time to time, insurance companies may offer incentives to individual brokers, including contest entries, trip and other forms of hospitality. Such sales incentives are typically based on performance criteria established by the insurer. We are committed to providing objective advice to our customers, notwithstanding the receipt of any such incentives. We are primarily concerned with servicing our clients’ best interests.

If you have any questions regarding this, or any other aspect of your insurance, please contact us. We are happy to answer any of your questions.
