These commissions are paid annually for both new business and renewals. In addition to the commission we receive for placing insurance with these companies, we may also receive a “Contingent Commission”. Those companies marked with an asterisk (*) may pay us a contingent commission. This is payable on a book of business that is placed with an insurance company if this book is profitable for the insurance company. This contingent commission is not guaranteed and cannot be predicted in advance. Over the past five years, we have averaged less than 3% per year in Contingent Commission.
On occasion we have the need to place coverage with Wholesale Insurance Brokerages, who have access to products and insurance companies that we do not represent. Upon request we can provide you with the commission we receive from these companies.
We want you to know that we are fiercely independent, proudly Canadian, and are financial stabile.
Sincerely,
Rorie McIntosh
