According to the Small Business Administration, there are over 33 million small businesses in the United States, accounting for 99.9% of all U.S. businesses! That creates a tremendous opportunity for agents, and Acuity can help you capitalize on it.

 

While other carriers are pulling back on small business, we target it through our Select Commercial Business initiative. Here are the top five reasons for writing Select Commercial Business with Acuity:

 

  1. It’s easy and efficient. Speed and efficiency are imperative to success in the Select Commercial Business market. Acuity is ahead of other regional companies in supporting commercial lines SEMCI, thanks to the extensive library of application programming interface (API) capabilities we have and continue to build. Our  Service Center is perfect for small business accounts, allowing you to focus on writing more business while we handle account servicing tasks. 
  2. We respond fast. Acuity gives you quick turnaround times on quotes from our experienced underwriters. On most small, unbound accounts submitted for quote through our online system, you’ll receive a quote back the next day. Our fast, fair claims service is second to none, earning a 97% satisfaction rating from customers who experienced a claim.
  3. Our extensive resources help you succeed. We offer online resources, brochures, and safety materials for you to provide your customers. Many brochures can be co-branded with your agency logo. Our loss control and core market industry specialists help us design products, programs, and services for small businesses and are great resources for agents.
  4. We have a big appetite. Acuity’s package options include our commercial package policy (CPP) and our Bis-Pak businessowners program, providing the ability to bundle multiple lines of coverage under one policy number and one convenient billing statement. Many small businesses are eligible for Bis-Pak.
  5. We provide the protection small businesses need. Adding one of Acuity’s enhancement endorsements to a commercial policy is a fast and convenient way to protect your customers against loss for many common exposures. Our enhancement endorsements are tailored to different business classes, providing dozens of added coverages and increased limits. We continue to evaluate feedback from our agency force on how to make these endorsements even better.

 

More to come! We continue to look for ways to make it even easier to write Select Commercial Business with Acuity. Look for more exciting announcements coming soon!
