Questions to resolve before binding.
Use these illustrative scenarios to review a proposal. They are questions to ask, not statements that a loss is covered.
A wind loss affects several locations
How does the proposed layer apply across locations, and are wind deductibles, occurrence definitions and catastrophe sublimits aligned with the rest of the placement?
A contractor changes from practice to project cover
Which entities and operations move into the project policy, what remains on the practice policy, and how is completed work treated after the project ends?
The company plans an acquisition
Which Arch management-liability segment handles the resulting organization, and what must be reported or agreed before the transaction closes?
A better submission starts here.
Hedge’s preparation guidance for this placement:
- Identify whether the request is primary, lead umbrella, excess, ground-up property or a specified layer, and include the intended structure.
- For property, supply detailed values, construction and protection information, five-year loss history and business-interruption worksheets where relevant.
- For management liability, identify public, private or nonprofit status, revenue, ownership and financial-services activities.
Include the named insured, locations, requested lines and limits, effective date, existing applications and available loss information. Start with what you have; we can identify what is missing.

Arch’s disclosure identifies Arch Property Casualty Insurance Company as formerly Arch Excess & Surplus Company, and Arch Wilsure Insurance Company as formerly Watford Insurance Company. These group identities do not establish the issuer or availability of a particular quote. [1]
Registration and license details identify an entity and its role. They do not by themselves establish that a particular product, state, limit or account is eligible.
The practical questions.
How do I get a quote with Arch Insurance?
Choose “Get a quote with Arch Insurance” and tell us about your client. Hedge carries your market selection into the submission, helps complete the account and works on the available terms. You can review the proposal before making a coverage decision.
Does this profile confirm my account is eligible?
The published specialties are a starting point. State, business activity, loss history, requested coverage, limits and effective date can change eligibility. The sources used here do not provide a complete state-by-product matrix. The actual proposal and policy forms determine coverage.
Is this an independent rating of Arch Insurance?
No. Hedge is an insurance intermediary and has a commercial interest in helping agents place business. Our commentary explains the placement questions we draw from the cited material. It does not report a customer satisfaction score, firsthand claims experience or an endorsement by Arch Insurance.

What stands out, and why it matters.
E&S property can be about a layer or a peril, not the whole schedule.
Arch describes ground-up, shared and layered, and single-peril or difference-in-conditions property placements, with published capacity up to $25 million. [4]
Show exactly which slice of the risk you want Arch to take. On a catastrophe-exposed schedule, compare the peril definition, occurrence wording, sublimits and attachment with the other participating policies. A capacity figure by itself says little about the protection bought.
Construction casualty is not one undifferentiated contractor class.
Arch E&S casualty identifies project-specific, owner’s interest, railroad protective and wrap-up or joint-venture business among its construction targets. [3]
Describe the contracting role and project arrangement. A general contractor’s practice policy, an owner’s interest and a project wrap-up involve different insured parties and contractual expectations. Ask what work and completed-operations period the proposed form follows.
Management-liability routing depends on company type and size.
Arch’s page places public companies above $500 million in revenue and private companies above $1 billion in its Large Commercial Group, with separate growth/middle-market and financial-services segments. [5]
Supply public/private status and revenue early, then explain ownership, financing and the requested protections. These published segment thresholds help direct the conversation; they do not replace underwriting acceptance or resolve borderline cases.
A better property file includes the interruption story.
Arch’s E&S property guidelines request five-year loss history, detailed insurance-to-value statements and business-interruption worksheets for manufacturing/processing and hospitality accounts. [4]
Treat the interruption worksheet as part of the risk explanation. Identify the operation or dependency that controls the recovery time, rather than presenting only building and contents totals. That makes the requested time-element protection easier to assess.
