It would be an insurance broker who represents insurers that specialize in one line of insurance or a particular industry, for example.
The brokers can provide a number of other services you may not think of like risk assessment or risk mitigation which can help you get lower premiums.
Usually the broker gets paid by the company through commissions. You may only have to pay a small policy fee in addition to the premiums.

Check with your states Department of Insurance, call them to see if there is any such license issued with that designation. Most likely made up to make someone sound more important. Insurance broker's are specialists in writing business that other carriers don't write on the surplus market.
