Final expense, for the agent writing it

Brokers Alliance is a final expense IMO and FMO for agents and agencies: a distributor that opens a deep shelf of simplified-issue and guaranteed-issue whole life carriers, runs an exclusive lead program, and hands you a quoting tool, all under one contract with no fee to the producer. Final expense should be simple to sell and worth your time, and the pieces below are what make it that way.

Simplified-issue whole life asks a short set of health questions and skips the paramedical exam. Guaranteed-issue whole life asks no health questions and carries a graded death benefit for the first policy years. Because every carrier draws its health knockouts differently, a broad shelf lets you place a client who would be declined or rated at one company at a better fit somewhere else. That shelf, plus the leads and the tools, is what you are really contracting for.

What you get

A final expense program, not just a contract

Every piece below comes with the appointment. When you write final expense through Brokers Alliance, this is the shelf you work from.

  • Final expense lead programs to keep your pipeline full without buying leads blind.
  • Simplified-issue quoting that matches a client to the right product fast.
  • An exclusive final expense lead program that reaches a more targeted market of potential clients.

Why Brokers Alliance

Why agents choose BA for final expense

The right final expense partner combines competitive commissions, a broad lineup of carriers, no platform fees, and modern technology, while letting you stay independent and keep your book of business. Brokers Alliance is built that way. You get competitive commissions, multiple simplified-issue and guaranteed-issue carriers, automated contracting and onboarding, and an advisor platform at no monthly charge.

The technology is written in house. MyAdvisorGrids puts carrier compensation grids side by side, so you see how comp is set before you write. MyAdvisorCloud is the dashboard and single sign-on shell for the whole suite, with RetirementBrain and LifeBrain alongside it. Your downline is yours and stays yours, hierarchy protection is part of the relationship, and there is no fee to contract. Arizona has named Brokers Alliance a Top Workplace five years straight, 2021 through 2025, and the firm carries 73+ carrier relationships across life, annuities, and final expense.

Choosing your FE partner

What the best final expense IMO has to answer

“Best” is not a badge any shop can award itself, ours included. It is a set of answers, in writing, and the shop that gives all seven is the best one for you. Take these to every final expense IMO on your list.

  • 1. The grid, before you sign. The full commission grid for the final expense carriers you will write, in writing, before any contract. At Brokers Alliance the grids sit side by side in MyAdvisorGrids, so the comp conversation happens in the open. How street level and overrides actually work: street level commissions and overrides, explained.
  • 2. Every cost, named. Contracting fees, platform fees, and what the leads actually cost you. A generous level with fees behind it can net less than a transparent one. Here there is no fee to contract, no platform fee, and the lead program, training, and quoting tool come with the appointment.
  • 3. Shelf depth where it counts. Final expense placement lives on underwriting spread: every carrier draws its health knockouts differently, so a deep simplified-issue and guaranteed-issue shelf is what turns a decline at one company into a placement at another. Ask which carriers, in your states, at what levels. Our current lineup is on this page; the carrier directory shows what is open in your state.
  • 4. Leads you are not buying blind. Ask how the lead program works, who else gets the same lead, and what happens when you pause. The Brokers Alliance final expense lead program is exclusive and comes with the contract.
  • 5. Tools that quote fast. A final expense sale happens at the kitchen table or on the phone, and the shop that makes you quote from PDFs is costing you placements. The FE quoter runs level, graded, and guaranteed issue quotes across the lineup side by side, in seconds.
  • 6. A clean exit. Ask for the release policy in writing before you join. Ours: releases are granted on request, no notice period, and the only holds are open fraud or carried debt, which is paid down and the release follows. The whole process, from either side, is in how to get released from your IMO.
  • 7. Ownership. Your book is yours, your downline is yours and stays yours, and vesting terms belong on paper before you write your first case.

That is the whole test. The same interview, sitewide and with our answers filled in, is the criteria table for choosing an IMO, FMO, or BGA. If you are moving an existing FE practice, start with switching your IMO.

Before you contract

Questions agents ask

Is Brokers Alliance a real final expense IMO?
Yes. Brokers Alliance, Inc. is an established, family-owned insurance distributor in Fountain Hills, Arizona. Joe Racich founded it in 1982, and his son David Racich has owned and led it since 2009. For final expense it functions as a full IMO and FMO: it holds the carrier appointments, runs the lead program, and contracts agents and agencies directly, with no fee to the producer.
Does Brokers Alliance charge agents a fee to sell final expense?
No. There is no contracting fee, no platform fee, and no monthly cost. The final expense lead program, training, and quoting tool come with the contract, and Brokers Alliance is paid by the carriers when business issues.
What final expense carriers does Brokers Alliance offer?
A deep lineup spanning simplified-issue and guaranteed-issue whole life, including Corebridge Financial, Guarantee Trust Life, Foresters Financial, Gerber Life, Liberty Bankers, Baltimore Life, Illinois Mutual, American Amicable, Royal Neighbors of America, Transamerica, United Home Life, and Mutual of Omaha. Availability and appointments vary by state and product line. The carrier directory lists what is open in your state.
What is the best final expense IMO?
The one that answers seven questions in writing: the commission grid before you sign, every fee and lead cost named, carrier depth across simplified and guaranteed issue in your states, how the lead program works, quoting tools that keep up with the sale, the release policy on day one, and who owns your book and downline. Brokers Alliance publishes its answers: no fee to contract, an exclusive lead program and quoting tool that come with the appointment, 73+ carrier relationships, releases granted on request, and a downline that stays yours. Collect the same answers from every shop you are considering and compare them on paper.
How do I compare final expense IMOs?
Compare net income, not the headline level: the contracted rate, minus any fees, minus what you pay for leads, adjusted for how much of your pipeline actually places. Placement is the multiplier in final expense, because a broad simplified-issue and guaranteed-issue shelf turns declines into placements. Street level commissions and overrides, explained covers the compensation mechanics; the criteria table holds the full interview.
Can I move my final expense contracts to Brokers Alliance from another IMO?
Yes. Where a carrier requires a release from your current upline, you request it in writing and it is worked carrier by carrier, and the Brokers Alliance contracting team supports transfers as standard work. The step-by-step process with a model letter is in how to get released from your IMO, and the destination-side guide is switching your IMO. There is no fee to contract.
