Specialty Insurance Programs
Zurich is a leader in the programs insurance business because we have the ability to write business for some of the most unique risks across a wide array of industries. Through our relationships with thousands of agents and brokers, and our lead-generation portal ZProgramsMatch, we are positioned to help Program Administrators compete in today’s marketplace with specialty insurance programs.
What is specialty programs insurance?
Specialty programs insurance is comprised of industry-specific books of commercial lines of business, ranging from contractor insurance to lawyers’ professional liability to transportation. Program business insurance targets niche markets that require deep, focused knowledge and flexibility. This specialty insurance is managed by an approved Program Administrator — a non-insurance company with underwriting authority.
