Why Become an Introducer to a Protection Brokerage?
Becoming an introducer to a protection brokerage allows you to add value to your clients and earn additional income, without needing to be directly authorised to advise on or arrange insurance products. It’s a simple, compliant way to enhance your client offering while the protection specialists handle the advice, administration, and compliance.
Once you make the introduction:
- The brokerage contacts the client directly.
- Their advisers handle all advice, product recommendations, and paperwork.
- You receive a referral or introducer fee if the client proceeds with a policy.
Benefits of becoming an Introducer
Expand your client service offering
You can provide access to expert protection advice for your clients — whether they’re individuals, company directors, or business owners — without needing to become an insurance specialist yourself.
Generate additional revenue
Introducers often receive a commission share or fixed referral fee for each successful introduction. It’s a simple way to create a new income stream from existing relationships.
Stay compliant and hands-off
Because the protection brokerage is FCA-authorised, they handle all the regulated activity. You remain fully compliant by simply introducing clients in line with FCA introducer rules.
Enhance client trust and retention
By connecting clients with trusted professionals for their protection needs, you strengthen relationships and position yourself as a comprehensive, solutions-focused adviser.
Support business owners and individuals
Protection advice can make a significant difference — ensuring clients, their families, and their businesses are financially secure against unexpected events.
Who can become an introducer?
Typical introducers include:
- Accountants and tax advisers.
- Mortgage brokers or estate agents.
- IFAs or wealth managers who don’t specialise in protection.
- Solicitors and business consultants.
- Employee benefit or HR professionals.
Anyone with clients who could benefit from insurance advice — and who wishes to provide added value without delivering it directly — can partner with a protection brokerage as an introducer.
