Overview of the Program from Great Point Insurance
Great Point Insurance's Small Business Umbrella program gives agents a quick, straightforward way to place excess liability for small and mid-sized commercial accounts. Our Insurance One & Done® e-commerce platform guides you through a self-directed transaction so you can quote, bind, issue, and invoice in a single session. The platform delivers instant pricing and streamlined documentation to reduce turn times and back-and-forth with underwriters.

Underwriting Notes and Minimum Requirements
Underwriting is class- and risk-specific. Typical considerations include the insured’s operations, loss history, payroll/revenue size, and the limits of underlying primary liability and auto policies. The program is designed for accounts with routine exposures; higher-hazard accounts or those with recent severe losses may require referral or be ineligible.
Please submit complete underlying policy information and loss runs for accurate, instant pricing. If an account falls outside automated guidelines, our underwriting team will review and respond quickly.

Example Accounts That Fit Well
You might have a neighborhood restaurant with moderate liquor exposure that needs a clean excess layer and prefers admitted paper — this program can provide quick, follow-form auto and liquor coverage. Or you might place a small contractor (carpenters/electricians) with standard GL and auto limits who needs $5M–$10M umbrella protection without a long underwriting delay.
To quote, bind, issue, and invoice today, use the online platform or reach out to our underwriting team for assistance. We will provide you and your client with instant pricing and documentation.
