Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve compiled this list of frequently asked questions to help you determine how our services can benefit your company.
When is the right time to bring in operational consultants like Apto?
The right time is when growth or complexity starts to strain your current operating model. If decisions are slowing down, processes are inconsistent, leadership is stuck in day-to-day execution, or you’re preparing to scale, change direction, or enter new markets, we can help. The most value comes from engaging before issues becomes urgent, so the foundation is built intentionally, not reactively.
Do we need to have a certain premium volume to work with you?
The short answer is no. We have flexible contract options to provide you with the level of service you need for your business. We have seen the full lifecycle of an MGA and can advise you from startup to beyond $100M in written premium.
How do you charge for your services?
We will customize the pricing based on the level of strategic involvement. If you are interested in learning more, then please contact us.
Can you help us with carrier introductions?
Yes, we work with several carriers and would be happy to advocate on your behalf.
What’s the typical engagement length?
We view our clients as long-lasting business partners. While the scope of our services may change over time, we will work alongside you to help you achieve all our current and future business goals.
Do you provide ongoing support or just project-based work?
We can provide both options based on your business needs. Our preference is to be ongoing partners, but we can provide solutions for specific project needs as well.
What makes you different from other MGA consultants?
We are founded by MGA executives who have experienced the exact same challenges that you currently face. The MGA world is different than the general insurance services sector and requires specific experience to make you successful. We will provide you with proven solutions specific to your needs as an MGA.
