My suggeston would be decide what you want to write -- Earthquake, Contractors, Bars, whatever...find out 3 or 4 good carriers in that line, and talk to them about what you would have to do to be appointed. BUt I will tell you, they will ask for premium commitments, and typically a carrier would ask...

As a wholesaler, what carriers look for in appointing a new Broker is -- can you give them business they are not getting now? When you say GA, I don't know if you actually mean a Brokerage firm, or if you intend to ask for Binding authority. Binding authority is much harder to get, you have to have ...

It's less than a $2 rate for the GL, maybe a $0.15 rate on the property? Maybe try your preferred carriers (Allied, CNA, etc). I think they are getting a pretty good deal now, though.

Is Travelers getting off the risk, or are you trying to compete with them?

How can you get the coverage included in the Umbrella if it is not on the primary policy?

ALso, is the Products/Completed Ops coverage actually Excluded, or merely 'Included' in the Gen Agg?

Marmar - the risk will have to split, Auto and GL. Have you received any quotes yet? I have to say, I see new business submissions on this class all the time....this class, Limo services and Non Armed Security guards. IMHO, all three classes are a huge time waster, and have really high failure rates...

Chartis has a division for Aviation parts, I would contact them.

why not go to work with your Aunt for a while and learn the business. If you like it, when you graduate college, then make it your career.

Have to agree with Big Dog's comments, you might want to do some homework first on the industry. If you are really interested in insurance, contact one of the larger brokerage houses in your area, and try to get in there. ONce you get familiar with coverages and how it all works, you'll be in a bett...

I would wonder why you can't do both? Pesonally, I would do the Masters first, you just got your CPA so you are relatively new to the field(I am guessing that part), I would solidify my base of knowledge there first. Then once you finish your Masters, do the CPCU classes. In the meantime, continue e...

Also, keep in mind that in the event the Tenant does not have any coverage, even though the Landlord does, the Landlord policy is for the Premises only. It is not going to pick up, not is it likely to defend, a claim arising from the tenant's Business Operation. It is a subjectivity in most nearly a...

Who would go out of business over an ADA claim? I think that's a little far-fetched. And I don't believe any one offers ADA coverage in particular, it's part of the 3rd Party coverage on the EPLI policy, IF you buy the 3rd Party coverage. What I think is more likely is a client doesn't buy the 3rd p...
