In order for us to maintain our strong relationships with quality insurers, we work with each to provide the type of business they desire.  Some contracted insurers 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. Contingent (profit) Commission is not guaranteed and can vary considerably from year to year. For detailed information on Contingent Commission, please visit the individual companies’ websites.
