Working with Hedge

From first review to the next decision.

1. Tell us what needs placing.

Start a risk submission with the named insured, operation, state, requested coverage, effective date, and the problem you need to solve. Include the application and supporting documents already available.

2. Resolve the important questions.

Hedge reviews the file and identifies missing information, market-fit questions, and the next steps. A published appetite entry is a starting point, not confirmation that an individual account is eligible.

3. Review the actual terms.

When a market provides terms, review the limits, deductibles, exclusions, subjectivities, and timing with the assigned broker. A submission or indication does not bind coverage. Binding depends on the applicable market's requirements and written confirmation.

Useful answers

Before you submit.

Who is Hedge for?

Hedge Specialty is a wholesale insurance brokerage serving licensed retail insurance agents and brokers. If you are a business owner, work with your retail insurance professional on your coverage needs.

Do I need every document before contacting Hedge?

Start with the information you have and explain what is missing. Our submission requirements help you prepare a useful first packet. A reviewer or market may request additional documents before offering terms.

Does the appetite checker guarantee a quote?

No. Published appetite is general guidance, and market availability can change. Eligibility, a quote, and binding are separate decisions. Hedge confirms the available route after reviewing the account.

Where can I find forms?

The insurance form library and commercial form guides connect forms with submission context. Use the current form and edition requested by the reviewing market.
