Coverage Highlights and Advantages Access to experienced, “A”-rated E&S carriers for risks that may not fit admitted markets Coverage for both shop and mobile/on-site welding operations Competitive pricing geared toward small operators and one-person shops Underwriters and brokerage staff with hands-on knowledge of welding exposures Quick, practical underwriting decisions when submissions include required documentation Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums The program requires a completed ACORD application plus a supplemental welders application for full underwriting review. Minimum premium starts at $1,000. IPMG’s underwriters evaluate operations by class mix, payroll, revenue, mobile exposures, and loss history; they can often structure terms to address common welding exposures when the risk profile is clear. Typical Appetite and Common Restrictions What typically fits: Small fabrication shops and mobile welder accounts with limited hot work exposure controls Accounts where welding is a primary operation or a substantial portion of the business What may not fit or will require special handling: Large scale structural steel erectors or heavy industrial contractors with significant site risk Accounts with poor loss history, inadequate hot work procedures, or large subcontractor exposures Territories and Availability This program is offered on a non-admitted basis in Florida, Illinois, and Missouri.
