How it works

A faster path to appointed.

We've streamlined contracting so you spend less time on paperwork and more time writing business. Here's exactly how it works.

1

Tell us about you

Send us your basic info — name, license, current appointments, and the carriers you want to write with. Takes 2 minutes.

~2 minutes
2

Get matched — selectively

We don't believe in contracting agents with carriers they'll never write. Our team reviews your book and recommends only the carriers that genuinely fit — typically 5–10, not all 30.

Same day

One application, many carriers

We use a unified contracting packet that gets you appointed across multiple carriers in a single submission. No re-filling the same forms over and over.

~15 minutes

Activate & start writing

Most appointments process in 3–5 business days. As each one activates, we notify you — and your agent portal updates automatically.

Our philosophy

We're selective — in both directions.

More carrier appointments aren't always better. We won't contract you with carriers you'll never write, just to pad your appointment list. Our goal is to match you with the handful of carriers that genuinely fit your book — and to make sure the agents we work with are the right fit for IRG too.

Only what makes sense. We recommend the 5–10 carriers that fit your client base, not every carrier on our roster.
Quality over quantity. Our agent base is intentionally curated. Fewer agents per case manager means better service for every case.
Long-term relationships. We're not interested in one-off transactions. We invest in agents who build their practice with us.

Frequently asked

Contracting questions.

Does it cost anything to contract with IRG?

No. Contracting with IRG is completely free. We're paid by the carriers as an override on the business you write — and we never take a cut of your commission.

How long does the contracting process actually take?

Most agents are fully active and writing within 3–5 business days. Some carriers take longer to process appointments, but you can start writing with any carrier as soon as they confirm your appointment.

What commission level will I receive?

You'll receive the best available commission for your production level and licensing structure. Commissions are paid directly to you by the carrier — we never touch them.

Do I have to sell exclusively through IRG?

No. There's no exclusivity, no production minimums, and no commitment to leave existing relationships. Contract with us on the carriers where it helps, keep what you have where it doesn't.

What if I'm already appointed with some of these carriers?

That's completely fine. You can keep your existing appointments and add new ones through us — or transfer over the ones where IRG's support would benefit your business.

What's the difference between a Producer and BGA contract?

A Producer contract is for solo agents writing their own business. A BGA contract allows you to recruit sub-producers and earn overrides on their production. If you're not sure which is right for you, our contracting team will walk you through it.

Do you work with newer agents?

Absolutely. We support agents at every experience level — from new producers writing their first case to top-shelf MDRT and Top of the Table advisors. Our case design and underwriting support is especially valuable for newer agents.
