NAPCO LLC — Builders Risk Coverage Insurance NAPCO provides agents and brokers with a single-source, independent marketing arm for difficult placements involving significant natural catastrophe exposures and complicated construction and occupancy profiles. As an experienced excess & surplus lines broker, NAPCO accesses major and specialty capacity to build layered, competitive builders risk programs that address high hazard locations and unique construction risks. Overview Builders risk coverage placed through NAPCO is intended for projects where standard markets are limited or where specialty underwriting is required — for example, frame construction in coastal wind-exposed areas or large, complex projects with multiple sublimits and transit exposures. Coverage can be arranged by either the project owner or the general contractor; NAPCO helps agents negotiate critical coverage provisions so clients receive a complete and competitive program. Ideal Accounts and Appetite New construction and renovation projects with high wind, flood, or seismic exposure. Frame or lightweight construction in coastal or hurricane-exposed territories. Large commercial, mixed-use, or multi-family developments that require layered limits. Projects needing transit, off-site storage, or builder’s risk for interior work and materials. Coverage Highlights and Advantages NAPCO’s builders risk programs emphasize tailored wording and strategic placement of specialty perils. Typical coverage features agents can expect support with include: Windstorm and named-storm capacity from excess & surplus and specialty carriers. Layered program structures to achieve higher limits for large projects. Specific consideration for flood, earthquake, transit, off-site storage and interior water intrusion exposures. Placement solutions involving reinsurance markets when additional capacity is needed. Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premium Underwriters expect detailed exposures for catastrophe-prone projects and will review construction type, project location, protective measures, and contract wording. NAPCO typically places accounts with a minimum premium of $25,000; smaller accounts may be considered on a case-by-case basis where capacity stacking or alternate structures are available. Territories and Market Positioning Available in all listed states and territories where E&S placement is permitted: AL, AK, AZ, AR, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, DC, WV, WI, WY. NAPCO can place business in admitted and non-admitted markets as appropriate to secure capacity and competitive terms. Why Work With NAPCO You get direct access to underwriting expertise focused on natural catastrophe exposures and difficult construction risks. NAPCO’s strengths include market access, layered program design, and negotiated policy forms that address common builders risk pitfalls (flood/quake exclusions, transit exposure, off-site materials). We work with you to present a clear submission and secure the right capacity for your clients. Example Scenarios You have a general contractor building a 120-unit wood-frame complex in a Gulf Coast county — NAPCO helps layer windstorm capacity and place flood and transit endorsements to protect materials en route and in off-site storage. You represent an owner renovating a high-value oceanfront hotel requiring earthquake and flood consideration — NAPCO assembles specialty carriers and a layered structure to meet contract and lender requirements. Contact us for more information on Builders Risk Coverage Insurance program Frequently Asked Questions What types of builders risk accounts are a good fit for NAPCO’s program?Projects with significant catastrophe exposure, frame or lightweight construction in coastal areas, large multi-phase developments, and accounts that need layered limits or specialty endorsements (flood, earthquake, transit, off-site storage). Can coverage be placed for both owners and general contractors?Yes. NAPCO can arrange builders risk for either the project owner or the general contractor and will help clarify who should be named insured and how contract wording affects coverage. What minimum premium should I expect when submitting?As a guideline, NAPCO typically works with accounts that meet a $25,000 minimum premium. Smaller submissions may be reviewed if the structure allows for stacking capacity or alternative placement strategies. Which states and market types are available through this program?The program is available across the listed states and territories and can be placed in admitted or excess & surplus markets where appropriate to secure capacity and terms. What submission information will underwriters want?Provide construction type and schedule, project location (including flood zone or seismic exposure), values and limits, contract wording, loss control measures, and details on transit or off-site storage of materials. Clear submissions help speed placement and improve terms. Need help placing an account? Connect with a market specialist.

Overview — Motorcycle Repair Shop Insurance from Cochrane & Company Cochrane & Company offers a specialized Motorcycle Repair Shop Insurance program designed for independent agents placing liability and related coverages for motorcycle repair, service and light customization businesses. This MGA-backed program provides flexible liability limits, garagekeepers options and several ancillary coverages to help your insureds manage the common risks of motorcycle service operations. Ideal accounts and appetite Independent motorcycle repair shops, service centers and general motorcycle mechanics Shops that perform routine maintenance, diagnostics, part replacements, and limited customization (bolt-on accessories) Start-ups and new ventures are acceptable when owners or lead mechanics have relevant prior experience Shops that maintain reasonable lot security, key control procedures, and documented employee experience Not appetible: shops that specialize in custom frame modification or heavy fabrication work (these are excluded). Coverage highlights and advantages General liability limits up to $1,000,000 per occurrence with up to $3,000,000 aggregate available Garagekeepers legal liability — direct primary available when excellent security controls are in place Ability to schedule service vehicles used in the business (customer transport or pickup/drop-off vehicles) Optional coverages include broadened liability extensions, Related Operations Liability for incidental parts/accessory and clothing sales, and property coverage (building, contents, business income) available — property is placed on non-admitted paper only Underwriting notes — what we need to quote Completed application specific to motorcycle repair operations Details on lot security and key control (fencing, lighting, CCTV, locked storage for customer bikes) Owner and mechanics’ experience and training history Description of customization or fabrication work performed (type, frequency, whether outsourced) Underwriters place emphasis on physical security and documented experience for garagekeepers and direct primary placements. Heavy fabrication, major frame-altering work, and structural modifications are generally declined. Territories, paper and minimums This program is available in AZ, CO, ID, MT, NV, NM, OR, WA and WY. Coverage is generally placed on non-admitted/surplus lines paper (no admitted paper available). Minimum premium and final placement terms vary by territory and account characteristics. Example fits — when to consider this program You have a client who runs a two-bay motorcycle shop that does tune-ups, brake work, installs aftermarket parts and occasionally transports bikes with a covered service vehicle — this program can provide GL and garagekeepers with scheduled service vehicle coverage. You represent a small vintage motorcycle restoration shop that does limited bolt-on customization but no frame fabrication — with good security and experienced mechanics, the account may qualify for garagekeepers legal liability and related operations liability for parts sales. Why place this business with Cochrane & Company Cochrane & Company underwrites motorcycle repair exposures with a focus on pragmatic risk controls and flexible garagekeepers options. As an MGA, they can tailor placements with specialty endorsements and non-admitted paper where necessary, and they are experienced working with agents on submissions for niche mechanical shops. If your client’s operations fall within the program appetite and you can provide the requested loss control details, Cochrane can often provide competitive limits and optional coverages that standard package markets may not offer. Quick reference — unacceptable operations Shops specializing in custom frame modification or heavy fabrication Frequently Asked Questions What types of motorcycle businesses are a good fit for this program?Shops that perform routine service, maintenance, part installation, accessory sales and limited customization (non-structural, bolt-on work). New ventures are acceptable if owners or lead mechanics have relevant prior experience and the shop has adequate security controls. Is garagekeepers coverage available and how is it written?Yes. Garagekeepers legal liability is available and direct primary terms can be offered when strong security controls exist. Coverage terms and limits will depend on the shop’s operations, security, and vehicle exposure. Can I place property coverage with this program?Property coverage (building, contents and business income) is available but placed on non-admitted paper only. Property eligibility and terms are evaluated case-by-case. Which states are eligible and is this admitted paper?The program is available in AZ, CO, ID, MT, NV, NM, OR, WA and WY. Coverage is generally placed on non-admitted/surplus lines paper; there is no admitted paper availability under this program. What do you need to submit for a quote?Provide a completed application, descriptions of lot security and key control, owner/mechanic experience, and details of any customization or fabrication work. Loss history and photos of the premises or secured storage can speed underwriting. Need help placing an account? Connect with a market specialist.

Vision Coverage Vision plans can vary from a simple discount card to a network of providers to a full-service plan that provides coverage for exams, lenses and frames every year. Since not every one of your employees needs eyewear, vision programs are frequently offered on a voluntary basis.
