Executive Update

We are excited to announce we have updated our logo, updated our website, and updated our social media and will be pushing out educational and promotional content more regularly. Our new website has our current web-rating products and we hope to launch our new Lloyds Personal Lines webrater in the coming months. The new website allows you to do various functions such as request an application, report a claim, request a loss run, and there is an ACH/Credit Card payment link for direct bill clients to utilize allowing them to securely send funds to North Point as an alternative to traditional mail.

Please check out the new website and follow our corporate pages on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

Warmest Regards,

Richard T. Butler, Jr.

Many of you are already using the Hiscox Now quoting/binding system; so we appreciate your support of that. If you haven't tried it yet, please consider doing so by visiting the link below

The program pays 12.5% commission, accounts are on admitted paper with direct bill, and policies are setup for auto-renewal for at least a year. Changes are regularly made to the program. So if an account has been declined in the past, you may be able to quote it now!

The Hiscox Now is a great product for Micro Professional policies combining a BOP for hundreds of classes with an E&O policy. Don't go through the hassle of collecting payment every year and renewal applications when we can automate this for you on these small accounts.

Vacant Buildings

Commercial Lines Spotlight

The E&S arena is no stranger to vacant buildings and neither is North Point Underwriters. We have access to many markets that not only specialize in this type of risk but target the business as well. Not every vacant building is the same and we have the ability to work outside of the box to aide in finding the right coverage for your insured. Think of us next time a standard market non-renews a risk due to vacancy.

Ask us for a supplemental application that will cover all of the basics we need to quote your next vacant risk. (Submissions should also include Acord app and prior carrier loss runs, if applicable.)
