Built for Organizations That Need Practical DRLP Support

Insurtechs & Insurance Technology Companies

Fast-growing insurance technology companies often build their product, distribution model, and technology stack long before they've built a compliance infrastructure. The DRLP requirement is one of the first compliance issues that surfaces — and one of the most disruptive if not addressed early.

DRL Advisory provides DRLP coverage from day one, including licensing strategy, state-by-state rollout planning, and the ongoing compliance management that lets insurtechs focus on product and growth rather than regulatory administration.

Common situations:

• Launching a new insurance program and need a DRLP before going live
• Scaling to new states and need DRLP coverage in each
• Leadership team unwilling to take on personal DRLP liability
• Operating with a patchwork compliance setup that needs to be properly structured

Managing General Agents & Wholesale Brokers

Managing general agents operating across multiple states face layered DRLP obligations — often with different requirements by state and by line of authority. Managing this internally means dedicating significant staff time to compliance administration that doesn't directly generate revenue.

DRL Advisory handles multi-state DRLP management for MGAs, including all state affiliation filings, license renewals, and regulatory correspondence — freeing your team to focus on underwriting and distribution.

• Multi-state operation requiring DRLP coverage in every active state
• Multiple lines of authority requiring coordination across DRLPs
• Current DRLP departing or transitioning out of the organization
• Expanding into new states and lines requiring new DRLP designations

Traditional Brokers & Insurance Agencies

For established agencies and brokers, DRLP challenges most often arise from personnel transitions — a longtime DRLP retiring, a principal leaving the organization, or a restructuring that changes who can appropriately serve in the role.

DRL Advisory provides continuity coverage for agencies facing DRLP transitions, ensuring there is no gap in designation and no risk of license cancellation during leadership or personnel changes.

• Current DRLP retiring or departing and no qualified replacement internally
• No internal candidate willing to accept personal compliance liability
• Agency acquisition where the target's DRLP is not continuing post-close
• Multi-state agency license portfolio requiring ongoing DRLP maintenance

Referral Platforms & Non-Traditional Organizations

Referral platforms, embedded insurance programs, fintech-insurance hybrids, and other non-traditional organizations that touch insurance distribution often have compliance structures that don't fit neatly into traditional agency frameworks — and DRLP requirements that aren't well-understood.

DRL Advisory specializes in helping these organizations understand their licensing obligations and establishing the DRLP structure that fits their model — whether they're a referral source, a program administrator, or something in between.

• Referral platform unsure whether its activities trigger licensing requirements
• Embedded insurance program needing a DRLP for its insurance distribution arm
• Fintech entering insurance distribution without an existing compliance structure
• Non-insurance business adding an insurance component and needing DRLP coverage
