It’s simple, just click on JOIN THE 'HIVE' TODAY and complete a short application to get appointed and our territory marketing director for your state will contact you.

Once you apply, your appointment will be activated upon verification of your credentials and acceptance into the Hive by our marketing and licensing and compliance team. Usually 3-5 business days.

InsureHive requires you to be an active licensed property & casualty agent with your state department of insurance. In addition, we require you to have an E&O policy with at least $1MM limits that is written with an AM -Best company rated A or higher. E&O coverage needs to remain in force in order to maintain access to the platform.

We have no premium volume requirements, but producer benefits increase as your premium hits $100,000. So our goal with every producer is to get you to at least $100,000 in written premium with us in first 24 months. Our marketing team will work their tails off to assist you to accomplish all your growth goals.

The expirations are the producers property and will be left in the producers possession. However, if you do decide to ever sell your agency, the Insure Hive acquisition team requests the first right of refusal to acquire your agency’s assets if you decide to sell. It’s a win-win.

No, there is no fee to you as a producer to access the Insure Hive’s technology platform and carrier marketplace; it’s totally free. We make our money just like you… only when a policy is sold do we earn a small commission of the net premium from the carrier.

No- It’s free for our licensed producers. One of the greatest benefits of being a producer of the Hive and booking policies through our platform is you don’t have to waste your valuable selling time answering billing questions, processing “what if quotes” and general time consuming service requests that drain you and your staff’s valuable time with small accounts. We do all the back office admin work for you.

No. InsureHive holds the direct appointment with the carriers. We appoint you as a sub-producer through Insure Hive to get access and get paid commissions with all the carriers.

Ouch that would sting. We hope that doesn’t happen, but you will still be able to log on to the website and continue to service any existing clients. You will not receive renewal commission on any business you have in force and you will be unable to submit new business until your producer agreement is re-activated and accepted back into the Hive.

You as the agent collects the initial premium payment from your insured with a credit card or EFT. Then the carrier partner bills your client direct. The client pays the carrier. The carrier pays Insure Hive™ and then the Insure Hive™ accounting team mails you a commission check on the 20th of every month (with a detailed commission statement included). NOTE: Direct deposit is available as well. InsureHive also has a partnership with PayPal and can wire commission checks into any active PayPal account.

Charging a Broker Fee is between you and your client, and is contingent upon your state laws.
