Breckenridge Insurance is a US-based Wholesale Broker, MGA, and Program Administrator. We partner with and distribute top-rated carrier solutions to independent retail agents and select wholesalers, spanning a variety of coverage lines and industries, by way of a team of expert brokerage, binding and programs professionals. We are not a carrier.
We have a few physical offices across the country, but many of our team members work remotely and travel to clients and industry events routinely. For offices and senior team members’ locations, please click here.
We have been formally operating as Breckenridge since 2009. The brokerage and programs teams under the Breckenridge name have histories and carrier partnerships dating back to the early ’80s.
Commissions will vary by product. On average, agencies are paid between 10% to 12.5%.
There is no fixed dollar requirement. However, we look to partner with agents and brokers with emerging or existing accounts or books where we can be successful together over time. We will assess our account success regularly and look to see how we can continue to grow and serve our partners where we see continued mutual benefit.
Varied team members and programs may have minimums based on their carrier needs and resources required to serve the business best. We do offer several self-serve quote and quote & bind solutions for smaller and more straightforward risks.
All appointed agents will need to keep their insurance licenses and proof of E&O coverage current in the amount as required by your signed Producer Agreement. In addition, payments must be kept current with our accounting team to allow new quotes to be issued. If you have any questions, please reach out to moc.sikcerb@detnioppateg.
