This commission percentage is paid annually for both new business and renewals.

Should there be a change in the commission schedule we receive from your insurer, or any other material change that affects compensation arrangements, we will update this disclosure accordingly. For us to maintain strong relationships with insurance companies, we work with each to provide the type of business they desire. The Insurance companies with an asterisk (**) noted above recognize our efforts through a Contingent (Profit) Commission (CPC) contract. Payment of the CPC may depend on a combination of growth, profitability / (loss ratio), volume, retention, and increased services that we provide on behalf of the Insurance Company. CPC is not guaranteed, and it is based on the average results over a three-year period and is not related to any one customer or group of customers. Thank you for Choosing Oegema, Nicholson & Associates Insurance Brokers Ltd.
