We believe in being upfront about our model. We have a 70% / 30% commission split agreement with our producers, but no initiation free, monthly fee, production requirement by our office, and we do not earn production bonuses or contingency commissions.

If approved, we will request the following documents:
We reserve the right to withhold commission when missing any of these required documents, specifically, expired E&O insurance. It is your responsibility to give us your updated E&O when expired.
If you are approved, the next steps will vary depending on the carrier(s) you have access to.
Once the onboarding process is complete, you will be going to the carrier's website to do everything (underwriting, binding, etc.). The only thing that is done with us is commission accounting. Please do not contact us about underwriting.
Commissions are paid by the 15th of the following month.
We pay out commissions as we receive them from the carrier. For example, payouts for June are made for commissions provided to us by the carrier if they get to us by the 15th of the following month (July). This also applies to payments being made for a policy in installments. If the insured pays quarterly, then most of our carriers pay us based on the installment premium, which we then payout. Carrier(s) that pay out an advance on the premium then gets paid out to you in an advance.
*Exception* Some carriers pay out after the 15th of the following month, so those are paid out in the next cycle. For example, May commissions get paid out in July.
*Disclaimer* Circumstances outside of our control may lead to a slight delay in payment.
