About Us:

At the Surplus Line Association of California (SLA), we don’t sell insurance - we protect access to it. As the only organization overseeing California’s $20+ billion surplus lines insurance marketplace, we help support coverage availability for businesses - from film studios to freight haulers - when risks are too complex, too large or too unique for the standard market.

Each year we review more than 1 million policy transactions, equip insurance brokers with compliance tools and continuing education courses, monitor the financial stability of global insurers and deliver data-driven insights that help the industry stay ahead of emerging risks. That impact - combined with our strong employee culture - has earned us recognition by Fortune as one of the Bay Area’s best places to work.

Quick Clarifier:

We are not insurance agents or a government agency - and we won’t be quoting your car or life insurance. We oversee a multibillion-dollar market that primarily serves businesses with hard-to-place risks. It’s niche, essential and surprisingly interesting.
