2What is a MGA?
A Managing General Agent (MGA) manages all or part of the insurance life-cycle for an insurance carrier. We have in-depth expertise that has been granted underwriting authority by an insurer, and can administer programs and negotiate contracts for an insurer while working as the intermediary between insurers and brokers, and/or insureds.
3Why use an MGA?
We act as a specialist type of insurance agent. Granted underwriting authority by insurance capacity provider and offer tailored quotes much quicker than more traditional channels. In addition, it’s far easier to get an instant ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer direct from our underwriting expert, as opposed to first going through an automatic system.
