An MGA (Managing General Agent) is an insurance intermediary with delegated authority from a carrier to act on its behalf—underwriting, pricing, binding coverage, issuing policies, handling endorsements, and collecting premiums. MGAs serve as the bridge between carriers and retail agents, specializing in niche markets (like marine, trucking, hospitality, or workers’ comp) to provide faster, more tailored solutions.

We offer a wide range of insurance products including property, casualty, professional liability, personal lines and specialty lines tailored to meet various business needs.

Our insurance products are accessible to licensed insurance agents and brokers.

We cannot directly assist policyholders .
