Other Direct Insurance (except Life, Health and Medical) Carriers

NAICS 524128 · Insurance Carriers and Related Activities · SBA size standard: $47 million average annual receipts

Other direct insurance carriers underwrite and issue policies for property, casualty, liability and specialty risks. For a carrier that quotes, binds and services custom commercial and personal lines policies, the specialists turn incoming inquiries into rated quotes, quotes into bound policies with certificates, bind events into premium billing and claims, and keep all documents, endorsements and regulatory filings current. Underwriting rules, rate tables and risk decisions stay with the underwriter.
