Insurance agencies and brokerages act as intermediaries between insurance buyers and carriers — soliciting, selling, and servicing insurance policies and annuities on behalf of clients. Day-to-day work involves client consultations, coverage placement, policy renewals, endorsement processing, and claims assistance. Some operations also include wholesale or MGA functions.
Questions to investigate
- What lines of business does the agency primarily place — personal lines, commercial, specialty, or a mix?
- Does the agency perform any MGA, wholesale, or program administration functions in addition to retail placement?
- What is the total annual premium volume placed across all clients?
- Are there any prior E&O claims or circumstances in the last several years?
