Insurers pay commission percentage annually for both new business and renewals.
The above commission schedule and Companies represented may change from time to time; we try our best to update the list when it occurs.
In order for us to maintain strong relationships with quality insurers, we work with each insurer to provide the type of business they desire. Some insurers noted above recognize our efforts through a contingent (profit) commission contract. Payment of this contingent (profit) commission depends on a combination of growth, profitability (loss ratio), volume, retention and increased services that we provide on behalf of the insurer. Insurance Companies do not guarantee Contingent (profit) Commission.
Most insurers will send out a Consumer Code of Rights and Responsibilities with your new policy. If you have any questions regarding this or any other aspect of your insurance, please contact our office at 416-391-3211.
