Partner With Us
Whether you are a retail broker, an MGA looking for capacity, or a firm considering becoming an Appointed Representative, Bissell & Partners is built to support you.
For MGAs — finding you capacity
Finding and retaining the right capacity is one of the biggest challenges an MGA faces. We use our Lloyd’s and London Market relationships to help MGAs secure capacity, structure binding authorities and build sustainable programmes — particularly across liability and marine. If you are looking for a capacity partner who understands your book, we should talk.
Become our in-house MGA
If you are building an underwriting business, we offer MGAs the opportunity to partner with Bissell & Partners and operate as our in-house MGA — trading under our umbrella with the backing, infrastructure and London Market relationships to grow. Whether you are an established MGA looking for a new home or building something from the ground up, we can give you a platform to underwrite with confidence while we handle the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
We keep the commercial side straightforward and flexible. Every MGA is different, so rather than a one-size-fits-all deal, we would rather talk to you about an arrangement that genuinely suits your business — and we can help you set up and navigate the FCA side of things so you can focus on underwriting.
Become an Appointed Representative
We are actively looking for Appointed Representatives to join us. Becoming an AR of Bissell & Partners gives you a regulated route to trade under our FCA umbrella, backed by London Market access, our in-house facilities and genuine, hands-on support — without the cost and complexity of running your own authorisation.

The opportunity: UK distribution
Bissell & Partners is a London-based wholesale broker that places business into Lloyd’s and the London Market, largely for clients based outside the UK. UK retail distribution is the one part of the offering we have deliberately kept open — and it is exactly the role we are looking for an active Appointed Representative to own. If you have UK relationships and want to build a book under our authorisation and market access, this is a genuine opportunity to lead that side of the business.
- Regulated trading under our FCA authorisation
- Direct access to Lloyd’s and the London Market
- Our General Liability and Hull & Machinery in-house facilities
- A genuine partnership with a specialist, boutique team
An arrangement that suits you
We keep the commercial side flexible. Whether a commission-split or a fixed monthly-fee arrangement works better for your business, we are happy to talk it through and find what suits you. We can also set the company up for you under either arrangement and help you navigate the FCA side of things, so getting started is as straightforward as possible.
