In order for us to maintain strong relationships with quality Insurers, we work with each to provide the type of business they desire. The Insurers with an asterisk noted above recognize our efforts through a Contingent (Profit) Commission contract. Payment of this Contingent (Profit) Commission may depend on a combination of growth, profitability (loss ratio), volume, retention and increased services we provide on behalf of the Insurer. Contingent (Profit) Commission is not guaranteed. For detailed information on Contingent Commission, please go the individual Insurance Company website.
