Compensation Policy

NOTICE TO CLIENTS ABOUT OUR BROKER COMPENSATION (Commercial)

Thank you for your business. Adriatic is an INDEPENDENT BROKER and a proud member of the Insurance Brokers Association. We are truly independent and are not owned in whole or in part by any insurance company, and further we do not have any loans or guarantees from any insurance company.

Our role is to provide you with the best insurance value that combines coverage, service and price. We also provide personalized, quality service that includes professional insurance advice, ongoing policy maintenance and claims support.
