This commission percentage is paid annually for both new business, renewal business and any mid-term policy transaction that generates additional premium. Should there be an increase in the compensation provided by your insurance provider, we will notify you.
In addition, the insurers noted below recognize our efforts through a Contingent Commission contract. Payment of this Contingent Commission is dependent on a combination of growth, profitability (loss ratio), volume, retention, and increased services that we provide on behalf of the insurer. It is based on our entire portfolio of business with that insurer and not on individual policies. For detailed information on Contingent Commission, please refer to the individual insurer’s website. Contingent Commission is not guaranteed. Arthur J. Gallagher may, from time to time, enter into non-standard arrangements which could have compensation terms that fall outside these ranges. We may carry out additional services such as data entry, processing claims payments, conducting site surveys and providing a market opportunities analytics platform. This additional work is compensated by payment of an agreed fee or commission.

From time to time, insurance companies will offer incentives to individual brokers, including contest entries, trips and other forms of hospitality. Such sales incentives are typically based on performance criteria established by the insurer. Our brokers are committed to providing objective advice to their customers and notwithstanding the receipt of any such incentives, are primarily concerned with servicing our clients’ best interests. Your insurance provider will be providing you with a Consumer Code of Rights & Responsibilities, along with your policy documents. If you have any questions regarding this, or any other aspect of your insurance, please feel free to contact us.
