Why C is correct
Under Chapter 626, Florida Statutes, transacting insurance includes solicitation and negotiation of contracts of insurance, not merely their issuance or countersignature. This is why Florida licenses and appoints agents: the regulated activity begins with solicitation, even when a policy is never sold, so unlicensed solicitation is itself a violation.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The transaction begins well before countersignature, at the point of solicitation or negotiation.
- B) Claims handling is not the definition of transacting; soliciting and effectuating coverage are central.
- D) Agents in the field transact insurance constantly; the activity is not confined to home office employees.
Memory hook
Solicit alone = already transacting.
