Benefits of Outsourced Insurance License Management

ACCEL Compliance has the privilege of working with some of the smartest insurance agencies, brokers, and TPAs in the country. Here are a few of the reasons they say it makes sense to partner with ACCEL:

GROWTH

They want their people focusing on growth, writing new business and working with clients. They are not interested in chasing the multitudes of regulatory requirements that govern their business.

MOVING TARGET

Regulatory requirements differ across jurisdictions and are constantly changing. If our 100% dedicated compliance staff finds this challenging, imagine how difficult and risky it can be for someone who handles compliance part-time.

CONFIDENCE

While our clients are out competing for business, they need to know that their regulatory position is secure. ACCEL provides this assurance, and with our GreenLight™ License Management System, clients can view their licenses, applications, renewal status and more in real-time from any computer or mobile device.

EFFICIENCY

ACCEL’s entire business is built around the efficient, cost-effective and secure management of insurance licenses. With our dedicated systems and workflows, we humbly believe that we’re handling these insurance maintenance tasks about as efficiently as it can be done, while also ensuring your compliance is never at risk.
