In order for us to maintain strong relationships with quality surety companies, we work with each to provide the type of business they desire. The surety companies above marked with an asterisk (‘*’) 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 surety. It is based on our entire portfolio of business with that surety and not on individual bonds. Contingent commission is not guaranteed. For detailed information on Contingent Commission or your surety company’s Code of Conduct, please refer to the individual company’s website.
