GeoVera Advantage has also entered a programme administrator and claims services agreement, with the business tasked with producing all residential earthquake and other MGA business for the carriers owned by GeoVera Nova.

As part of the deal, 114 workers from the residential earthquake risk underwriting franchise have moved to SageSure.
