A Managing General Agent (MGA) is an insurance agency or business entity who is granted authority by an insurance carrier to administer insurance programs and negotiate contracts on its behalf. The MGA acts as an intermediary between carriers and agents and/or insureds. Partnering with an MGA can be thought of as working with a dedicated branch office that provides specialized insurance programs within specific target classes. Working with an MGA can provide value-added expertise, access to multiple insurance markets, and a more efficient process in obtaining specific coverages as needed.
