Underwriting Notes
We place business with a range of admitted and non-admitted carriers depending on the risk profile and jurisdiction. Worldwide Facilities’ underwriters are experienced with complex exposures and can assist with hard-to-place accounts, prior loss experience, and novel product formulations. Minimums and program eligibility vary by class—underwriters will evaluate formulation, manufacturing controls, labeling, quality assurance, distribution channels and claims history when considering terms.
Territories and Availability
The program is available nationwide — all 50 states and Washington, D.C. — with the carrier flexibility to write in states that have more nuanced regulatory requirements.
