Contractors
Subcontractor agreements, additional insured wording, tools and equipment, and completed operations that outlast the job.
Industries
Some businesses need more than a BOP and a prayer.
Different industries create very different insurance problems. The details that matter for an auto repair shop aren't the same ones that matter for an apartment building, manufacturer, contractor, or nonprofit. These are some of the industries where my experience gives me a head start.
Eight industries I know the paperwork on.
Every one of these has a handful of endorsements that decide whether a claim gets paid. These are the ones I check first, every time.
Each industry has coverage details and endorsements that can dramatically change how a loss is handled. Those details are some of the first things I look for during a review.
Auto Dealers & Repair Shops
Garage liability, garagekeepers on customer vehicles, open-lot values, and dealer plate exposure for staff and test drives.
Commercial Real Estate
Building valuation, loss of rents, tenant certificate tracking, and liability for vacant or transitioning space.
Condo & HOA Associations
Master policy structure, unit-owner responsibility lines, directors and officers coverage, and fidelity limits for reserves.
Manufacturers
Equipment breakdown, product liability, business income tied to a single line, and stock values that move with the season.
Nonprofits
Directors and officers, volunteer liability, special-event coverage, and abuse or molestation limits boards need to understand.
Restaurants
Liquor liability, spoilage, hood and duct compliance, delivery and non-owned auto exposure, and patio or event coverage.
Professional Services
Errors and omissions, cyber and funds-transfer fraud, client contract requirements, and coverage that follows remote staff.
Told your account is too complicated? Send it to me.
Hard-to-place doesn't mean uninsurable. It usually means the last submission didn't tell the story well enough. Here's when it's worth calling.
-
You've been declined or non-renewed
A carrier exiting a class isn't a verdict on your business. There are markets that specialize in exactly the risk somebody else just dropped.
-
Your loss history is working against you
Claims get priced, but they also get explained. Documented corrective action changes how an underwriter reads your file.
-
Your operations don't fit a box
Mixed trades, seasonal work, unusual products or a new line of business — these need a narrative submission, not an online rater.
