Core packet

Build one internally consistent account.

  • Applicant information with the correct legal entities and a precise operations description
  • Requested lines, limits, effective date, and any contract or certificate requirements
  • Currently valued loss runs for the relevant entities, lines, and policy periods
  • Exposure schedules and supporting documents that reconcile to the application
  • Class-specific supplemental information and a direct explanation of difficult facts
Do not send from this checklist alone

Hedge must confirm the intended route and review the exact files. Do not send submission material to a competing wholesale intermediary or another producer.
