Terms of Business Agreements (TOBA)
TOBAs are agreements between parties in the insurance chain as to how they will do business together. TOBA templates either include risk transfer or do not include risk transfer. RIsk transfer refers to whether the receipt of premiums by an intermediary shall be considered to have been accepted by the party extending risk transfer, typically an insurer, MGA or wholesale intermediary.
