Commercial proposition

How Capacity Network Works Commercially

Capacity Network is designed for commercially sensitive insurance capacity and distribution workflows. The commercial route depends on who is using the platform, the level of support required and whether the objective is discovery, managed introduction or a structured search.

Plain English position

Commercial terms are agreed before live marketplace work begins. Capacity Network does not assume a fee model silently and does not guarantee capacity, distribution or underwriting approval.

Discuss the right route

Brokers And MGAs Seeking Capacity

Capacity seekers can submit a structured requirement, define sensitive markets, exclude incumbent providers and move through a managed route to suitable capacity providers.

Typical commercial route

Typically handled as a managed introduction or retained capacity search. Any success-linked fee is agreed in writing before live work begins.

  • Confidential requirement review
  • Provider exclusion controls
  • Market-ready profile and document readiness
  • Controlled named introductions

Insurers And Principals Seeking Distribution

Insurers, principals and capacity providers can define appetite, visibility preference and distribution targets, then review screened opportunities that fit their criteria.

Typical commercial route

Typically handled through a provider subscription, founding partner arrangement or managed sourcing mandate depending on appetite breadth and support required.

  • Structured appetite profile
  • Hidden or controlled visibility
  • Screened capacity requests and schemes
  • Admin-supported match review

Scheme Owners

Scheme owners can package existing or proposed schemes with class, territory, distribution proof, GWP potential, data readiness and support required.

Typical commercial route

Typically handled as a managed introduction or retained search where the scheme needs preparation, capacity targeting or multiple provider approaches.

  • Scheme-specific profile
  • Evidence and document checklist
  • Capacity provider appetite matching
  • NDA, meeting, terms and outcome tracking

Commercial options

One Marketplace Workflow, Several Commercial Routes

The model should match the level of work involved. A one-off introduction is different from a confidential replacement capacity search or an ongoing provider appetite programme.

Managed Introduction

Best for a defined opportunity where both sides need controlled disclosure before a commercial conversation.

Capacity Network screens the opportunity, checks fit, controls identity disclosure and coordinates the introduction workflow.

Retained Search

Best for confidential replacement capacity, hard-to-place classes, new schemes or strategic distribution searches.

Scope, target markets, timetable, evidence requirements and review cadence are agreed upfront before the search starts.

Provider Subscription

Best for insurers, principals and capacity providers that want ongoing access to screened distribution opportunities.

Subscription or founding partner terms can cover appetite profile management, opportunity review and market intelligence access.

Success-Linked Arrangement

Best where the parties want part of the commercial reward linked to a completed introduction or converted opportunity.

Any success fee must be agreed clearly in writing before the relevant workflow begins. It is not assumed automatically.

Important boundaries

Commercial Clarity Before Market Activity

Capacity Network helps structure discovery, readiness, matching and introductions. Insurance, underwriting, delegated authority, distribution and legal arrangements remain the responsibility of the relevant parties and should be documented separately.

No automatic success fee without written agreement

No guarantee of capacity, terms or distribution

No uncontrolled disclosure to excluded providers

Separate legal and commercial agreements where required

Commercial model FAQs

Does Capacity Network charge a subscription or a success fee?

Capacity Network can support subscription, retained search, managed introduction or success-linked arrangements depending on the participant and workflow. The commercial route should be agreed before live work begins.

What happens after I submit an enquiry?

The enquiry is triaged, confidentiality and conflict considerations are reviewed, the profile is checked for readiness and the correct commercial route is agreed before marketplace activity progresses.

Can brokers or MGAs explore capacity confidentially?

Yes. Capacity seekers can identify excluded providers and sensitive markets before any provider sees a request or before named disclosure is approved.

Does Capacity Network guarantee capacity or distribution?

No. Capacity Network structures discovery, screening, matching and introductions. Each party remains responsible for underwriting, due diligence, legal, regulatory and commercial decisions.
