Underwriting Notes
Underwriting focuses on licensing status, regulatory compliance, product formulations and labeling, security and inventory controls, product testing, loss history, and distribution channels. Accounts with strong controls, documented procedures, and clear separation between legal and illicit activities are more likely to secure competitive terms.
Higher-risk scenarios—such as accounts operating outside applicable licensing frameworks, significant unresolved regulatory actions, or extensive prior loss history—may be declined or placed with more limited capacity.
