Broker Point of Sale Commission Protocol

We’d like to take this opportunity to explain to you, our valued client, where we fit into the equation; in other words, what we do to purchase insurance products and services that are available, affordable, and understandable.

Simply put, our role is to provide you with the best insurance value, one that combines maximum coverage, excellent service, and the lowest available price. In addition, we pride ourselves on providing personalized, quality service that includes professional insurance advice, ongoing policy maintenance and claims support. When any issue arises regarding your insurance coverage, we are your advocate, fully committed to using our professional experience to best represent your individual interest.

Brokerage compensation, the money we receive to select your best insurance value and to represent your interests, is included in your insurance premium. To illustrate how W.H. Scrivens & Sons Limited determines its level of compensation, we’ve listed a number of insurers that we represent. Included is the range of compensation we receive from each as a percentage of your overall premium.

For us to maintain strong relationships with quality insurers, we work with each to provide the type of business they desire. The insurers with an asterisk (*) noted above recognize our efforts through a Contingent Commission contract. Payment of this Contingent Commission depends on a combination of growth, profitability (loss ratio), 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 company’s website.

The Commission percentage is paid annually for both new business and renewals. Should there be an increase in the commission schedule we receive from your insurance, or any other material change that affects compensation arrangements, we will notify you, as we have in the past.
