The ABN Advantage
Own more of what you build,
not just what you sell.
Most networks ask you to hand over equity to grow. ABN works the other way, you keep ownership of your own AFSL, and we bring the licencing, compliance and systems that let it scale.
Equity in the ABN Group, revenue share on trust interest and overrides.
Build your book with system-agnostic support behind you.
Lower licence fees from day one, full underwriter access.
01
I'm a broker
Bring your book and keep the equity. See how Broker Associate and Broker Partner status work, and where you would start.
02
I need insurance advice
Get matched with a specialist ABN broker in your industry or region, backed by direct insurer relationships.
New to the industry, or growing a smaller book?
You don't need a big book to start with ABN.
Most networks want a GWP minimum you cannot hit early on. Broker Associate status is built for exactly this stage, whether you are starting from scratch or already have a smaller book you want to grow, with compliance, systems and support already in place, and a path to Broker Partner as your business builds.
- No AFSL of your own required to get started
- Structured onboarding and ongoing mentorship from the ABN team
- Full compliance, accounting and underwriter access from day one
- A clear path to Broker Partner as your GWP grows
Where you start
Broker Associate
Lower licence fees from day one, full underwriter access, and a support structure built for brokers building their first book, and for smaller existing books ready to grow, without the overheads of running your own AFSL.

The trade-offs, laid out
Stay where you are now, or join ABN.
Where we operate
A national footprint.
ABN is a broker partnership operating across all of Australia,
every state and territory.
Why brokers move to ABN
Everything you would expect from a network, minus the pressure to sell out.
You stay the specialist. We handle the parts of the business that pull you away from clients.
01
Equity, not just override
Broker Partners hold real equity in the ABN Group. Your growth builds an asset, not just a commission line.
02
Lower licence fees
Reduced fees as a Broker Associate, stepping down further as your GWP grows toward Partner status.
03
Revenue sharing
Earn a share of trust account interest and insurer overrides, on top of your own client revenue.
04
Succession, sorted
Talk to us about a purchase of your book and a succession plan that grows your net worth over time.
What ABN provides
The back office, without the back-office headcount.
Sit under our AFSL with full compliance support built in.
System-agnostic setup designed to minimise transition friction.
Insurer relationships and product development support from day one.
Extra hands when you need them, cover for holidays, or backup through growth phases when your own team has not caught up yet.
Add-on tools for client retention and business development.
We can run your digital presence so you do not have to.
Foundation Partner window
Limited seats, limited-time incentives.
General insurance distribution, underwriter agency and discretionary mutual licensing options are available now. Minimum GWP and earnings criteria apply, enquire to find out where you would sit.
Built for what is next
System-agnostic today. AI-ready by design.
We do not lock you into one platform. Staying system-agnostic means you are free to adopt the AI and app-driven tools that fit your book as they emerge, without ripping out the compliance backbone underneath.
Freedom of choice
Any platform, any insurer
Bring the CRM, quoting or comparison tools you already trust, we integrate around you instead of forcing a rebuild.
AI-assisted workflow
Faster quoting and compliance
We are actively partnering on AI-driven tools for underwriting checks, document handling and client communication, so admin time shrinks, not client time.

Before you enquire
Common questions from brokers considering ABN.
Broker Partner status has minimum gross written premium (GWP) and earnings criteria attached. Broker Associate has a lower bar to entry and is designed as a step toward Partner status as your book grows, tell us where your business sits and we will confirm which pathway fits.
ABN is system-agnostic. We are built to work around the tools you already use rather than force a migration, so the transition is designed to be as low-friction as possible.
It is a mutual NDA. It protects the details of your business while we discuss numbers, and protects ABN’s own commercial information in return. It is the first formal step after your enquiry, before any deeper conversation.
Yes, broker support excellence is part of the core offer. We can hold the fort during holidays or growth phases when your own team has not caught up with demand yet.
Yes. ABN can talk through a purchase of your book and a succession plan designed to grow your net worth ahead of an exit, as an alternative to joining as an active Broker Partner.
