Get started with Legal & General America
Our distribution network is made up of independent life brokerage general agencies (BGAs). You may already be working with an agency that represents us. A good way to get started is to call your BGA and ask if Legal & General America (Banner Life/William Penn) is among its carriers. If we are, your BGA can provide you the documents necessary to apply for an agent/broker agreement.
If your agency does not represent Legal & General America, an alternative is to network with business associates. One of them may have an established relationship with a general agency that represents us. Talk with your colleagues to learn more about the agency and to find out who to contact regarding an appointment.
