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.

  • Contracts, customers, vendors, special activities, and requested limits
  • Currently valued loss runs and documented corrective action
