Why Partner With Turner Insurance Specialists

Turner Insurance Specialists has been Spain's trusted insurance partner for British, Irish and international expats since 2013. Founded by Andrew Turner — in insurance since 2001 and registered with the Spanish Dirección General de Seguros (DGS Registry C0467B54657010) — we are an authorised exclusive Generali agent with access to specialist lines through our partner network.

Clients trust us with their health, life, home, motor and business cover because we explain insurance clearly in English and stand by them at claim time.

We are now opening our doors to like-minded professional partners who serve the same expat audience. Whether you simply want to refer your clients for English-speaking insurance advice, or build a deeper, regulated commercial relationship that pays you renewal commission for years, we have a programme that fits your business and your qualifications.

Two Ways to Collaborate

Referral Programme. Light-Touch

The referral route is ideal if you serve expats in Spain but do not handle insurance directly and do not want the regulatory responsibilities of insurance mediation. You simply introduce your client to us — by phone, email, WhatsApp or a tracked referral link — and we handle the entire insurance conversation from first contact through quote, policy issue and claim.

You retain the client relationship for your core service. We pay an introducer commission on every policy successfully placed, with no monthly minimum and no obligation. No insurance qualification is required for referrals because you never see the client's insurance data, financial details or medical history — those flow directly between the client and our regulated team.

Active Collaborator. Full Partnership

The active collaborator route is for licensed insurance professionals or other regulated advisers who want to participate in advising the client, processing applications and earning ongoing renewal commission.

Active collaborators have direct contact with policy data, medical history (where relevant for health and life products) and bank-account information for payment setup — all of which are personal data under the Reglamento General de Protección de Datos (RGPD/GDPR) and Ley Orgánica 3/2018. Because of this we require full insurance and data-protection qualifications before granting access — see below.

Required Qualifications

UK Cert CII Level 3 (or Spanish DGS Equivalent)

To handle insurance client data on our platform, every active collaborator must hold a UK Chartered Insurance Institute Certificate (Cert CII) at Level 3 — or the Spanish DGS-recognised equivalent (Curso Superior de Seguros, 200 hours minimum) plus the agent registration that follows. The Cert CII is the recognised entry-level qualification for insurance broking in the UK and is widely accepted in Spain when paired with DGS Registry.

Holders of the Diploma CII (Level 4) and APFS (Level 6) are of course welcome — and qualify for our higher commission tier. If you don't yet hold the qualification but want to start the route, we can recommend the CII online study path (typically 6–9 months part-time) and the Spanish Curso Superior providers we work with.

RGPD / GDPR Data-Protection Compliance

On top of the technical insurance qualification, every active collaborator must operate within RGPD/GDPR. That means: a written Contrato de Encargado de Tratamiento (data-processing agreement) with us; secure handling of client data (encryption in transit and at rest, no client data on personal devices);

a defined retention policy aligned with Spanish insurance contract law (Ley 50/1980 — typically 6 years post-policy-end); breach notification to the AEPD within 72 hours under RGPD Article 33; and an annual compliance refresher. We provide the data-processing agreement template and a compliance checklist to all active collaborators at onboarding.

Spanish DGS Registration

For partners who wish to issue policies under their own name, you need to be registered as an insurance agent or broker (Mediador de Seguros) with the DGS. This requires a clean professional record, the Curso Superior qualification, professional indemnity insurance of at least €1,300,380 (the regulatory minimum) and continuing education compliance. We can advise on the registration process and connect you with the right Spanish college (Colegio de Mediadores) for your region.

Who Should Collaborate With Us

Our partnership programme is designed for professionals who already serve expats and want to add a high-trust, English-speaking insurance offering to their service. The most successful partners we work with come from these sectors:

Gestores and Asesorías

Spanish administrative professionals helping expats with NIE, residencia, autónomo registration, taxes and business setup typically encounter the question "how do I get health insurance for my visa?" almost weekly. We provide visa-compliant Generali Salud Opción Premium and Generali EXPAT Medcare certificates within 24–48 hours, freeing your gestoría to focus on the paperwork you specialise in.

Many British and Irish expats ask their solicitor for life-insurance recommendations when buying property in Spain — particularly for inheritance-tax planning around ISD (Impuesto sobre Sucesiones y Donaciones). We offer term, decreasing-term and whole-of-life cover up to age 69 with English-language documentation and consult on beneficiary structures.

Real Estate Agents

Buyers need home insurance on completion (most lenders require buildings cover) and often life insurance tied to the mortgage. We can issue home cover the same day for completion, and decreasing-term life policies in 5–10 working days — keeping your client's sale on track.

Mortgage Brokers

Spanish mortgage lenders typically require buildings insurance and life-insurance assignment. We handle both with the right structure for the lender and the client, including coordinating policy assignment paperwork.

Expat Services Providers

Removals companies, relocation specialists, language schools and concierge services all see clients before they fully understand the Spanish insurance landscape. A single tracked referral link integrates with your client onboarding and earns you commission for years.

Accountants and Fiscal Advisers

Autónomo and SL clients need professional indemnity, employer accident cover (Convenio Colectivo), business interruption and tax-deductible private health cover (€500/employee under Ley 35/2006 IRPF). We work with Spanish accountancy firms to deliver coordinated business-cover programmes for their book.

Commission Structure

Our commission structure is competitive and transparent.

⚠️ Minimum threshold for commission payment. Commission is only payable once you have placed a minimum of 5 policies through Turner Insurance. Your own personal policies do not count towards this total — only policies arranged for clients you have introduced. Once you reach the 5-policy threshold, commission is paid on every eligible policy from the first.

Full commission schedules are shared at the start of the partnership conversation, under NDA where appropriate. Our schedule is benchmarked against the Spanish DGS reported industry averages and we are confident it sits among the most generous offered to expat-focused partners on the Costa Blanca.

How to Get Started

Becoming a Turner Insurance partner takes just five steps:

  1. Book a discovery call with Flor Panizza, our active licensed agent — 30 minutes, free, no obligation. We listen to your business and the type of clients you serve.
  2. Receive the partnership pack — commission schedules, qualification requirements, sample data-processing agreement, FAQ for your team.
  3. Choose your route — light-touch referral or active collaborator with renewal commission.
  4. Complete onboarding — typically 1–2 weeks for referral partners, 4–6 weeks for active collaborators (qualification verification, data-processing agreement signature, DGS notification where applicable).
  5. Start sending introductions — phone, email, WhatsApp or tracked referral link. Earn commission from your first placed policy.

Frequently Asked Questions. Insurance Partnership

These are the most common questions we receive.

Common questions from prospective partners. Anything not covered here? Speak to Flor Panizza, our active licensed agent — most partnership questions are best answered in a 10-minute call.

No — the light-touch referral programme requires no insurance qualification because you simply introduce the client to us and we handle every aspect of the insurance conversation, including all client data. You retain your relationship for your core service. The active collaborator route, where you handle client data directly, requires UK Cert CII Level 3 (or the Spanish DGS-recognised equivalent) and full RGPD/GDPR compliance.
The Cert CII (Certificate in Insurance, Level 3) is awarded by the UK Chartered Insurance Institute and is the recognised entry-level qualification for insurance professionals. It is widely accepted in Spain when paired with DGS Registry. The Spanish equivalent is the Curso Superior de Seguros (200 hours) followed by DGS agent registration. Both demonstrate competence to handle client data and provide insurance advice professionally. Cert CII costs around £600 and can be completed online in 6–9 months part-time.
Referral commission is a one-off introducer fee paid as a percentage of the first-year premium on each successfully placed policy. Renewal commission is paid annually for the full life of each renewing policy, giving active collaborators long-term income from referred clients. Commission rates depend on policy type and partnership tier — health, life and motor lines typically pay the highest renewal rates given typical 6+ year retention. Full schedules are shared at the start of the partnership conversation.
Every active collaborator signs a written Contrato de Encargado de Tratamiento (data-processing agreement) with us, operates within RGPD/GDPR and Spain's Ley Orgánica 3/2018, encrypts all client data in transit and at rest, retains data only for the period required by Ley 50/1980 (typically 6 years post-policy-end) and notifies the AEPD within 72 hours of any data breach under Article 33 of the GDPR. We provide the agreement template and compliance checklist at onboarding.
Light-touch referral partners are typically onboarded in 1–2 weeks. Active collaborators take 4–6 weeks because of qualification verification, the data-processing agreement signature and DGS notification where applicable. Once onboarded, you can start earning commission from day one — there is no quiet period.
Yes — gestores and asesorías are some of our most successful partners because their clients regularly need visa-compliant health insurance, autónomo cover and life insurance for mortgages. Both partnership routes are open to gestoría firms; many start as referrers and migrate to active collaborator status once one of their team holds the required qualification.
No exclusivity is required. You can continue working with other insurance providers if your clients have specific needs we don't cover. We are confident our combination of Generali products, English-speaking service and renewal commission structure makes us the natural first port of call for the Spain-bound expat insurance market.
