Broker Replacing Capacity Without Alerting an Incumbent Provider

A regional broker has a profitable specialist book, but the existing facility may not support future growth. The broker needs to test alternative capacity options without alerting the incumbent provider too early.

The Scenario

The broker knows a replacement or additional provider may be needed, but a broad market approach could damage the existing relationship before there is any credible alternative.

What Makes It Sensitive

  • Current provider should not see the early request
  • Markets already approached must be excluded
  • The book needs to be described without revealing the broker name too early
  • Claims and bordereaux evidence should be reviewed only by suitable providers

How Capacity Network Helps

  1. 1. Submit an anonymous capacity request with class, territory, GWP and distribution detail.
  2. 2. Add the incumbent provider and conflicted markets to the exclusion list.
  3. 3. Upload claims, bordereaux and loss-ratio evidence when requested.
  4. 4. Review appetite-matched providers that are not excluded.
  5. 5. Approve named disclosure only after document readiness and conflict checks are complete.

Evidence That Supports The Review

  • Current and target GWP
  • Claims pack and loss ratios
  • Bordereaux quality
  • Distribution outlets
  • Operational controls
  • Provider exclusion list

Likely Platform Outcome

The broker can identify whether there is credible replacement or additional capacity before exposing sensitive market intent.
