Broker
What Is an Insurance Broker?
An insurance broker is someone who helps you (the insured) shop for coverage. They specialize in comparing multiple insurance companies to find the best policy fit for your needs.
For example, a fitness professional opening a personal training business might work with a broker to find a policy that includes general and professional liability coverage, plus workers’ compensation insurance to cover employees.
What Does an Insurance Broker Do?
Most people who shop for business insurance don’t know where to start. An insurance broker is your go-between, helping connect you to the right coverage from your ideal insurance company — like a matchmaker, who works for you. You tell them your business needs, and they find a policy that checks all those boxes.
Insurance Broker vs. Agent: What’s the Difference?
An insurance broker represents you, while an insurance agent represents the insurance company. Brokers have connections with many insurance companies and have a duty to act in your best interest.
