SURE and SageSure Debut Commercial Product for California Business Owners

The new surplus lines offering increases coverage options for businesses across industries.

SureChoice Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange (“SURE”), a policyholder-owned reciprocal exchange, in partnership with SageSure, one of the largest managing general underwriters focused on catastrophe-exposed markets, today announced the launch of its first non-admitted business owners policy (BOP) in California.

The BOP solution arrives as California contends with fewer insurance options and increasing wildfire risk. This year to date, 6,078 wildfires have burned a cumulative 977,923 acres across California, outpacing the state’s five-year average.

“By introducing the new BOP product, SURE is demonstrating its commitment to the California market,” said Ed Konar, President of SURE. “After bringing dwelling fire and surplus lines homeowners coverage to California earlier this year, the BOP program is SURE’s third solution to help address the demand for reliable coverage in the state.”

The program accommodates more than 400 business classes across eight industries, including restaurants, offices, wholesale, habitational, lessor risks, retail, service, and artisan contractors.

“SageSure is proud to partner with SURE to develop the latest BOP program and deliver solutions producers want to sell,” said Victor dos Santos, President of Commercial Insurance at SageSure. “With a market-leading buying experience and broad appetite for risk, the program can support producers in growing their book of business while offering more options to their clients.”

SURE’s BOP program is also available in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina. To learn more about SURE, visit sureins.com.
