Workers' Compensation Insurance Coverage-
Made Easy
Workers Compensation Shop writes coverage for over 500 class codes. Our partnerships with top-rated carriers and exclusive programs help retail agents find the best deal on coverage for most industries. Premium sizes range from under $1,000 to over $1,000,000.
Workers' Comp Class Codes
Employees are grouped into classification codes based on their job duties and work functions. The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) currently utilizes nearly 800 class codes to help insurance companies and agents categorize employees for rating purposes. Insurance companies set a base manual rate for each class code in order to begin pricing a policy.
Properly classifying workers is an important part of the quote process. Mis-classified employees can cost small businesses thousands of dollars. They could end up paying too much for coverage or owing more money after an annual audit.
Target Programs and Classes
We offer solutions for standard industries and hard-to-place class codes. Some of our target classes include:
| Health Care | Home health, assisted living, skilled nursing, retirement, hospice, counseling |
|---|---|
| Hospitality | Restaurants, bars, hotels, motels, musicians |
| Non-Profit Organizations | Social services, group homes, counseling services, youth centers, independent living |

Retail vs Wholesale Insurance
What is a Retail Agency?
A retail insurance agent typically works directly between an insurance company and a customer in order to quote, service and renew insurance coverages. The agent may be captive to one insurance company or an independent agent contracted with multiple insurance companies. Retail agents do not have the authority to place insurance coverage for other retail agents. Instead, retail agents utilize wholesale insurance brokers in order to get access to insurance companies when they do not have an agency contract with one or more of the insurance companies they want to access.
What is Wholesale Insurance?
Wholesale insurance provides retail agents with access to insurance carriers when they are not appointed to write business with the carrier. Most often, wholesale brokers work between the insurance companies and the retail agent, rather than the agent and customer. However, they may function as a retail agent in some situations. Brokers are authorized to place business for other retail agents. Wholesale brokers typically have expertise in particular lines of coverage and are held to higher production standards than retail agents. They often have greater influence over underwriters, which helps place more difficult risks.
How to Become an Independent Insurance Agent?
Regardless of what type of insurance you choose to pursue, a state insurance license is required before you can sell insurance. Once licensed, an insurance agent may seek appointments with insurance companies or the may join forces with an independent insurance agency. Since getting carrier appointments can be a challenge for agents who do not have millions of dollars in premium, most agents choose to work with independent agencies.
Our brokerage firm works with insurance agents on a No-Volume Requirement basis. Many of our agent partners work from home and have very little overhead. Other agents or agencies we work with specialize in other lines of coverage and utilize our services to increase their revenue and round out accounts. Agency partners may utilize our agency software and service center for customers and prospects under some circumstances. Contact us for more details.
