“—” means the broker hasn’t published that rule. Brokers can change requirements without notice and run their own reviews on top of these.

New authority? Start here

Most rejections for new carriers come down to authority age. See which brokers work with a new MC authority, grouped by how long your authority needs to be active.

How we source these rules

Each rule comes from the broker’s own carrier page or setup packet where one exists, otherwise from a third-party carrier setup guide, and we show which. Carrier-reported results raise or lower our confidence over time. Read the guide on why carrier setups get rejected for the checks that aren’t published.
