    We support the work behind the scenes while you remain in front of the client.

    Get case design, underwriting, placement, and planning support without giving up control of the relationship.

  • Built to grow with you

    From one difficult case to larger producer onboarding, our support can scale with your business.

What We Do

A three-step process behind your growth

1

Digital-to-brokerage placement

Speed where it fits. Depth where it matters.

Qualifying clients can move quickly through modern digital platforms, with faster applications, quicker eligibility feedback, and no exam when it is not needed. When a case requires deeper underwriting or product design, we can pivot into traditional brokerage without starting over.

Term, permanent, and final expense across simplified, instant-issue, and fully underwritten paths.

2

Underwriting & case design

Don't give up on a difficult case too early.

We help gather the right details, understand the underwriting issues, and position the case appropriately — with access to independent medical director insight for more complex situations. When the need extends beyond a basic policy, we can also support the broader planning conversation.

Impaired risk, business owner planning, buy-sell funding, key person, executive bonus, and collateral assignment cases.

3

Expand the relationship

Add deeper planning capabilities without building every specialty internally.

Life insurance is often the beginning of the relationship — not the end. We help identify broader opportunities involving retirement income, long-term care, business planning, legacy planning, and advanced tax-mitigation strategies through specialized planning relationships.

Traditional and hybrid LTC, fixed and indexed annuities, retirement income, estate and legacy planning, business-owner strategies, and access to advanced tax-mitigation strategies through specialized relationships.

The Approach

Lead with simplicity. Know when to go deeper.

Every placement is backed by nearly two decades of underwriting and brokerage experience — helping you determine the right path from simple digital cases to more complex planning opportunities.

  1. Start with the opportunity

    Bring us the case, planning need, or growth opportunity.

  2. We determine the right path

  3. You stay in control

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a Life Insurance Brokerage General Agency (BGA)?

A Life Insurance Brokerage General Agency (BGA) is an organization that helps independent insurance agents, financial advisors, and agencies access insurance carriers, underwriting expertise, product solutions, and case-management support.

Rather than relying on a single insurance company, agents can work with a BGA to evaluate multiple carriers and identify appropriate coverage options for their clients.

Legacy Funding Insurance is an independent life insurance BGA headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, providing:

  • Life insurance carrier access for term, permanent, and final expense coverage.
  • Impaired-risk underwriting assistance for clients with complex medical histories.
  • Advanced case design for business owners and specialized planning needs.
  • Digital insurance placement for qualifying applicants.
  • Brokerage support and case management for more complex applications.

This combination allows independent agents to expand their services while maintaining control of their client relationships.

How does Legacy Funding help independent life insurance agents grow their business?

Legacy Funding helps independent insurance agents increase their ability to serve clients by providing brokerage resources, underwriting guidance, and access to insurance products beyond what an individual agent may be able to support alone.

Agents can work with Legacy Funding to:

  • Evaluate life insurance products across multiple carriers.
  • Find coverage options for clients with pre-existing health conditions.
  • Access simplified and digital application processes for qualifying applicants.
  • Develop business insurance strategies, including key person and buy-sell agreement funding.
  • Expand into long-term care insurance, annuities, and legacy planning solutions.
  • Receive assistance with complex underwriting and case placement.

Legacy Funding works behind the scenes to support the advisor's business. The goal is to help agents place appropriate coverage, improve their ability to handle challenging cases, and strengthen long-term client relationships.

Can Legacy Funding help place high-risk life insurance cases or clients who have been declined?

Yes. Legacy Funding specializes in impaired-risk life insurance underwriting, helping independent agents evaluate coverage options for clients who may have difficulty qualifying for traditional life insurance.

Impaired-risk cases may involve:

  • Diabetes or other chronic health conditions.
  • Heart disease or previous cardiac procedures.
  • Obesity, sleep apnea, or other medical risk factors.
  • Tobacco use, vaping, or nicotine exposure.
  • Previous life insurance declines, postponements, or rated offers.
  • Certain driving, legal, occupational, or international travel risks.

Legacy Funding helps agents review a client's circumstances, assess potential carrier options, and determine an appropriate underwriting strategy before submitting a formal application.

Because insurance companies evaluate medical conditions and risk factors differently, selecting the right carrier and application approach can make a meaningful difference.

Coverage and approval are not guaranteed, but a prior decline does not necessarily mean every available insurance option has been exhausted.

What is the difference between digital life insurance placement and traditional brokerage underwriting?

Digital life insurance placement uses online applications, electronic processing, and automated underwriting systems to help qualifying applicants obtain coverage more efficiently. Depending on the carrier and applicant, some policies may be issued without a traditional medical examination.

Traditional brokerage underwriting involves a more detailed evaluation of the applicant's medical history, financial circumstances, coverage needs, and other risk factors.

Digital placement may be appropriate for:

  • Straightforward term life insurance applications.
  • Applicants who qualify for simplified underwriting.
  • Clients seeking a faster application experience.
  • Certain no-medical-exam life insurance products.

Traditional brokerage may be more appropriate for:

  • Applicants with complex medical histories.
  • Previously declined or highly rated cases.
  • Large or specialized coverage needs.
  • Advanced business insurance or estate planning strategies.

Legacy Funding combines both approaches, allowing advisors to use streamlined digital placement when appropriate and more detailed brokerage support when a case requires additional expertise.

How can I become a Legacy Funding insurance agent or brokerage partner?

Independent insurance agents, financial advisors, and agency owners interested in partnering with Legacy Funding can begin with a conversation about their business, clients, and insurance placement needs.

The partnership process generally includes:

  1. Initial consultation: Discuss your business, current insurance products, and opportunities where brokerage support could help.
  2. Review of available resources: Evaluate carrier access, digital placement options, underwriting support, and advanced planning capabilities.
  3. Contracting and onboarding: Establish appropriate carrier contracts, technology access, and support arrangements based on the partnership.
  4. Case submission and placement: Begin working with Legacy Funding on qualifying insurance applications and specialized cases.
  5. Ongoing brokerage support: Expand into additional products, planning services, or agency-level resources as needed.

Whether you're an independent life insurance agent with one difficult case or an established agency looking for a long-term BGA relationship, Legacy Funding can help evaluate an appropriate partnership structure.
