The power to achieve more.

CRC Tapco began in 1983 as TAPCO Underwriters, a North Carolina–based managing general agency focused on providing fast, dependable access to specialty and surplus lines markets. From the beginning, CRC Tapco built its reputation on speed, delivering quick phone quotes, same-day turnaround, and responsive service that helped independent agents write hard-to-place business with confidence.

Over the years, CRC Tapco expanded its capabilities and product offerings, becoming a highly respected MGA known for its efficiency and agent-focused approach. In 2009, TAPCO Underwriters was acquired by CRC Insurance Services, joining one of the nation's largest wholesale brokers. This partnership strengthened CRC Tapco’s market access, technology, and national reach while preserving its signature service model.

Today, CRC Tapco continues that legacy as a leading wholesale insurance broker with binding authority. Backed by CRC Group’s financial strength and nationwide presence, we provide access to more than 1,000 classes of business, fast quotes, flexible coverage options, and same-day policy issuance. Decades after its founding, CRC Tapco remains committed to helping agents move faster, go further, and grow their business with confidence.
