Business owner experienced 293% increase in revenue and was no longer confident with their insurance program.

A business owner outgrew their current plan with excess markets and struggled to secure coverage because the business was deemed an unattractive risk. Leif helped them understand why it was not an attractive risk for standard markets and guided them to make significant operational changes. This resulted in a more secure program that excess markets were willing to accept. Ultimately, these improvements led to a substantial total savings of 64%

(Colorado)

 

The contractor reached out the day before they had a $15MM job bidding in Colorado as a hail mary and asked if it was possible to turn around a $15MM job in a day. By 1:30 financials were in for final underwriting and by 5:30 pm the contractor had the bond in hand so he could jump on an airplane to get to the bid by bid opening at 2 pm the next day.  The contractor said his agent had three weeks and could only tell me no.  You are giving me the yes and handing me bonds in less than 6 hours
