We consider brokers to be important partners in the movement to provide quality insurance coverage and risk management guidance to the world of Sports Entertainment. As such, our programs are written through independent agents and brokers. One of our primary objectives is to make your job easier, while becoming better equipped to effectively market, write, and service your target accounts. Providers within the Sports Entertainment industry are unique in and of themselves. By partnering with you, we can increase our ability to understand the risks they face and provide the specific services they need.

This section of our website will familiarize you with our mission, as it provides the resources needed to understand our programs and services.

Licensing
As you are aware, each state’s regulatory department requires licensing for any agent soliciting coverage within that state. Failure to maintain proper licensing status can result in penalties not only to the agent, but also to the insurer. Therefore, in addition to the completed broker agreement, we require that you provide the following:

1. A copy of your resident and, if applicable, non-resident licenses for each state in which you have an account insured with our program.
2. A copy of your agency’s corporate license issued by your state department of insurance.

Professional Liability
Please provide American Specialty with a Certificate of Insurance or other evidence of your E&O coverage.

Fidelity Coverage
Please provide American Specialty with a Certificate of Insurance or other evidence of your Fidelity coverage (specifically Employee Dishonesty).

Please return the completed broker agreement to the attention of:
