Insurance appetite, explained.
How to use public appetite without overstating account eligibility, market access, or authority.
What is a wholesale insurance appetite checker?
Hedge's checker gives licensed retail insurance professionals a directional class-and-state starting point. Search by business class or NAICS code, select a state, and review published coverage lines, target limits, conditions, and submission preparation. It does not expose private carrier routes. Hedge reviews the actual account before confirming current fit.
What does insurance appetite mean?
Insurance appetite describes the types of businesses and exposures an insurer or underwriting program is willing to consider. Class, location, operations, and loss history can affect that interest. Being within published appetite does not guarantee that a specific account qualifies or will receive a quote.
Why does Hedge's appetite vary by state?
Cat exposure, statutes, licensing rules, and other state-specific facts can change the directional result. Hedge publishes a state page only when a reviewed state fact materially changes the base class guidance.
What coverage information does the checker show?
Each class page shows public line and target-limit guidance, conditions, preparation information, and related classes. The coverage library explains the broader coverage and placement questions. Neither source replaces account-specific underwriting or policy review.
Does a class page confirm eligibility in every state?
No. A state-specific page records a reviewed public override where one exists. The absence of an override does not prove account eligibility, appointment, activation, market access, or a submission route.
What happens after I submit a risk?
Hedge receives the file for brokerage review. Receipt by Hedge is not the same as release to a market. Hedge then identifies missing facts, confirms a usable route where available, and keeps submitted, released, quoted, bound, and issued states separate. Timing depends on the account and market.
How do I get appointed with Hedge?
Open the Get appointed page and complete the application. Submission of the application starts Hedge review. Appointment, product activation, submission route, quote authority, and bind authority remain separate and are confirmed through Hedge.
