Having Trouble Finding Insurance For Your Unique or Seasonal Business?
No comments · Posted by John Argo in Commercial General Liability Insurance, Commercial Property Insurance, General Insurance, Products and Services, Special Event Liability Insurance
Insurance companies like to make cookie-cutter offerings on their insurance products. This allows them to know a specific type of risk well and therefore, better analyze the coverages, premiums and predictable losses on any given insured.
However, there are a variety of businesses or individuals who do not fit the norm, but still require an insurance policy. We’ve all heard how some celebrities insure their body parts…this is a prime example of an insurance policy which is beyond normal and has to be custom tailored for an individual.
There are many other types of policies that most insurance companies won’t touch. They include insurance for the following:
Fireworks:
Pyrotechnics
Fireworks Displays
Storage
Commercial property
Vehicle Related:
Repo
Used Car Dealers
Recreational Vehicles
Liability
Wrongful Repo
ATV tours and rentals
jet ski rentals and operations
Personal watercraft
Motorcycle dealers
Special Event Insurance:
Spectator liability
Liquor liability
Animal liability
Others Specialty Businesses:
Haunted houses
Pumpkin patches
Hay rides
Corn mazes
Zip lines
Trackless trains
and many more.
If you are having a hard time finding insurance because your agent cannot find an insurance company for you, it’s time you contact Boardwalk Insurance Group. We specialize in hard-to-place insurance risks and have many options available through our network of insurance companies and insurance brokers.
