New Jersey planning considerations

Coastal storm, surge, and flood

Review how this condition could affect the operation's locations, employees, vehicles, customers, income, or ability to recover after a loss.

Dense property, traffic, and logistics corridors

Review how this condition could affect the operation's locations, employees, vehicles, customers, income, or ability to recover after a loss.

High values, cyber risk, and business interruption

Review how this condition could affect the operation's locations, employees, vehicles, customers, income, or ability to recover after a loss.

Build a useful insurance submission

A strong submission explains what the business does, where it operates, how it controls risk, and what has changed. Include current schedules and loss information rather than relying on an old application.

  • Locations, construction, occupancy, values, and protection features
  • Revenue, payroll, employee duties, vehicles, and operating territory
  • Contracts, customers, vendors, special activities, and requested limits
  • Currently valued loss runs and documented corrective action
