Thimble Broker Program FAQs

What is the Thimble Broker Program?

What is the Thimble Broker Program?

The Thimble Broker Program makes it easy for independent agents to partner with us and offer flexible insurance coverage to clients.

We accomplish this through our portal, where agents can:

  • Build and send quotes
  • Bind policies for a client
  • Share a personalized referral link
  • Download marketing materials
  • Access a widget for your website
  • Modify purchased policies for clients
  • Add additional insureds (AIs)

Your commissions are processed automatically once your account setup is complete. You must be a licensed property & casualty broker in order for Thimble to process commission payments.

See the full Terms of the Broker Program here.

What commission do I earn for selling Thimble products?

Brokers receive up to a 10% commission of every policy purchased by a client you refer.

And you’ll earn commission on that client for life! Thimble will pay you the 10% commission regardless of how that client comes back to Thimble. The client is tied to your broker account for life based on the e-mail address they used to purchase the original policy.

Which clients can I sell Thimble coverage to?

Thimble offers an innovative range of insurance essentials built for small businesses and independent workers of all sizes. Coverage can be purchased from an hour to a full year, or by the month with Thimble Monthly, the top choice among Thimble’s insureds. Small business owners want the freedom of working for themselves with flexible insurance to match, and Thimble makes it possible for over 300 activities at any stage of their growth. See our full list of included activities here.

 

Availability varies by state.

Are Thimble broker sales covered by an errors & omissions policy?

The policies themselves are covered by Thimble’s errors & omissions insurance.

However, our terms and conditions state that agents that participate in our broker program are required to carry the following:

  • Cyber Insurance
  • Professional/Errors & Omissions Liability

Both insurance coverages must have a minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence limit.

How is the coverage arranged by Thimble different from Markel’s general liability offering?

In contrast to Markel’s annual general liability policies, the general liability insurance arranged by Thimble is available on demand, monthly, or annually, with dynamic coverage options as short as an hour. By joining the Thimble Broker Program, brokers are able to price short-term risks and offer their clients access to a new product, along with binding monthly policies and  traditional annual options.

 

Availability varies by state.

Who is the broker on record (BOR) on Thimble policies?

Thimble is the broker of record on all thimble policies. However, brokers who refer a customer will continue to make 10% commission on any policy the customer buys in the future.

You can modify policies directly in the Thimble portal:

  • Extend a policy
  • Increase/decrease coverage limits
  • Add Additional Insured’s
  • Cancel the policy

Can I see an example Certificate of Insurance and policy?

Yes, you can see examples of policies by state in our Broker Portal at broker.thimble.com.

How does payment for referrals work?

As an affiliated Thimble broker, you will receive up to 10% of the policy value of every purchase attributed to you, whether bound by you or purchased with your widget or referral link.

Payments are made on the 10th of the month or once you reach $50 of commission (whichever comes later), you will be paid out for commission earned in the previous month (or months, if you just reached the $50 threshold). Thimble also pays bonuses to brokers who refer clients! Bonuses start at $50 per new customer referral. Payments are deposited directly into the bank account linked on your Broker Portal.
