Why is a Target Program Better for Business Insurance?

Insurance companies often claim they have a broad appetite when it comes to quoting and insuring small business owners. The fact is that most insurance companies pick and choose the business areas they want to compete in. Just because an insurance company offers a quote for coverage, doesn’t mean they will offer highly competitive rates. It also doesn’t guarantee that their insurance policy has the best language in the policy to really protect a specific business from their true risk and exposure.
