Program overview
Midlands' Workers Compensation Insurance for Small Business is a targeted program designed to protect your clients’ greatest assets — their people and their businesses.

Program Highlights:
In addition to the Workers' Compensation monoline, you can offer clients broader protection by bundling coverages under one policy:
You can enhance your clients’ coverage and save them money with a 10% discount when both Workers' Compensation Insurance and a BOP policy are bound together. Note: this program is designed for a specific line of target classes (see list below).
Target Classes:
Typical fits include new or growing small businesses that operate in light- to moderate-exposure industries — for example, a neighborhood restaurant hiring seasonal staff, a landscaping company expanding its crew, or a small day care opening a second location. Those accounts benefit from tailored payroll handling, loss control support, and the option to bundle property and liability with Workers' Comp.
Underwriting notes and minimum premium
Underwriting focuses on class mix, payroll accuracy, and safety practices. New ventures are reviewed on their operations and controls. Minimum premiums start at NCCI minimums; E-Mod considerations typically range from 0.60 to 1.75. Risks outside the appetite (see Program Highlights) will generally be declined or referred.
