Ideal Accounts and Appetite
Our surplus lines markets are designed for risks that don’t fit standard underwriting molds. Typical fits include high-hazard operations, unique or emerging business models, unfavorable loss histories, or properties in catastrophe-prone areas. We can underwrite accounts with incomplete loss histories or complex operations where admitted markets decline.
Example accounts include:
- A coastal hotel in Florida with significant wind exposure that doesn’t meet admitted carrier guidelines
- A manufacturer that uses high-risk materials or specialized processes
- A general contractor with a complex claims history and mixed project types
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
Through our surplus lines program we place a broad range of coverages—General Liability, Property, Excess Liability, and specialty solutions—structured to address non-standard exposures. Our brokerage team collaborates with multiple non-admitted carriers to tailor terms, limits, and endorsements that balance coverage needs with competitive pricing.
We emphasize fast response times and pragmatic underwriting. That means quicker turnaround on complex submissions and proactive communication throughout placement and binding.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
The program generally requires a minimum premium of $20,000. To expedite review, include complete applications, current loss runs, and any relevant supplemental documentation (e.g., risk control reports, lease agreements, or project schedules). Providing clear, organized submission packages helps us obtain timely, accurate quotes from our carrier panel.
