GordonSecurity this might sound obvious but ensure the company or companies you finally zero in on are licensed to business in your state and have a stable track record. Don't take their word for it check with your state's insurance commission housed either with commerice, state or attorney general departments.Originally posted by GordonSecurity View Post
There are horror stories of people paying a company year after year only to find out when they file a claim the company is bogus. Don't mistakenly line the pockets of a crook.
Enjoy the day,

I would recommend that you do not fill out an online application (I know El Dorado has one). Their underwriting decision will be made based on what little info you provide on the application and the rates will be high. When looking for insurance you have to "market" your company much like you would to a prospective client. The application should be accompanied by any materials that describe your firm and paint it as a high quality low risk company. These materials might include copies of your policies and procedures, officer handbook, a description of your target market (i.e. commercial buildings versus bars and strip clubs) and even a business plan to back up your payroll estimate.
The more they have to work with and the better the information, the better your chances are that your rate quote will be the lowest they can provide.
Good luck.Richard Dickinson

Very interesting. I wasn't aware the underwriting (or rate determination) was done on such an individualized basis. Thanks!Originally posted by hrdickinson View Post"Every betrayal begins with trust." - Brian Jacques

SecTrainer I've said it before to the point it becomes trite. We now see just how important this forum is to us all. I will add Richard's explanation with him getting credit for his contribution. I've used yours as well as Nathan's and others for which credit was given; that being the only fair thing to do.Originally posted by SecTrainer View Post
We may have the occasional flibbertigibet, some grammer or typing challenged and one or two who have no clue as to what an antecedent is in a sentence or phrase, but all in all we have a very intelligent group and they make us all the better for visiting and taking their postings to heart.
Enjoy the day,

We're in the installation biz, but we saved money going through NBFAA. So look at your trade organizations for one thing, or companies that specialize in insuring your field. Also, if you know or have a relationship with a reputable Independant Insurance Agent, check with them.
Alright Bill, I'll bite. What the hell is a flibbertigibet?sigpic

maybe it's just because texas is a cheap state, but the only company I worked for that even offered medical coverage offered Starbridge, that same pit of dispair offered by Walmart. The little firm I work for right now doesn't offer any at all.sigpicMy ideal security vehicle and uniforms:Comment

Hello,
I am in California also and mainly do armed work. I have heard great things about El Dorado but last year I was quoted via my online app. and it came in very high (15k year). Lesson learned, so I went with "ACS" which is roughly 457.00 a month after 1200.00 down (Southern Ca based).
I will be shopping around in January so thank you for all of this valuable info!Comment
