Payment of the Contingent Commission may depend on a combination of growth, profitability, volume, retention and increased services that we provide on behalf of the Insurer. Contingent Commission is not guaranteed. For detailed information on Contingent Commission, please go to the individual Insurer’s website.
Should there be an increase in any commission we receive from any Insurers, Wholesalers and Underwriting Managers we represent, or any other material change that affects compensation arrangements, this disclosure statement will be amended accordingly.
