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.
Make the request specific.
Hedge’s preparation guidance for this type of placement:
- Specify the product and specialist operation rather than requesting a generic Markel quote.
- For surety, provide the exact obligee, bond form, amount and purpose of the obligation.
Include the named insured, locations, requested lines and limits, effective date, existing applications and available loss information. Start with what you have; the team can identify what is missing.
Check the details that change the fit.
