Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Insential evaluates accounts individually with emphasis on the class of business, loss history, and risk management practices. Minimum premiums vary by class and exposure — contact Insential for program-specific underwriting guidelines and target premiums. The program is structured to accommodate both standard risks and unique or higher-hazard accounts that may not fit admitted markets.
Example fits:
