What carriers looking to expand should know
Often, depending on what states a carrier has historically worked in, a carrier’s compliance team may have tunnel vision about what state compliance requirements are. This narrow view gives teams a wide regulatory blind spot when it comes to expanding their regional territory, because following one state’s compliance processes isn’t following them all.
With a birds’-eye view of all 50-plus regulatory jurisdictions, this guide flags issues that carriers looking to expand and work across borders should be aware of.
From areas of state alignment such as the responsibility to verify licenses before and at the time of sales and commission payments to areas of stark state disagreement like appointment procedures and requirements, this guide offers a holistic view of the insurance regulatory environment. Carriers looking beyond their original state borders need a roadmap; this guide can provide even seasoned compliance aficionados with a view of red-flag risks.
