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.
