Your first steps with BackNine

BackNine is a brokerage general agency that helps insurance agents access carriers, handle contracting, and place business. BOSS is your workspace for managing your business, and Quote & Apply helps you quote and submit applications online.

BOSS and Quote & Apply are included when you place business through BackNine, with $0 setup and additional fees. The insurance carrier pays your agent commission and pays BackNine a separate commission as your general agency. That commission funds our tools and support, so we don’t charge you a fee. See what’s included and explore agent commissions.

Your policyholders are your clients. BackNine supports you as the insurance advisor and does not share client data between unaffiliated advisors. Read the full explanation for how BackNine handles client communication and data.

Agents earn the writing agent commission on issued policies and are appointed directly with carriers as needed. Commission rates depend on the carrier, product, and commission schedule. Explore starting rates and how to qualify for higher levels.

Many states allow appointments to be processed alongside an application, while some require an appointment before you can proceed. Complete your contracting in BOSS so BackNine has the information needed to arrange your carrier appointments.
