HOUSTON (PRWEB) September 20, 2022 - SURE, the member-owned insurance company for reliable coastal property protection, today announced its expansion into commercial insurance in Louisiana. Small and mid-sized Louisiana business owners can now bundle general liability and commercial property coverage with SUREs business owners policy (BOP), which is underwritten, distributed, and serviced by SageSure.

SUREs announcement follows the launch of its first commercial product in Texas earlier this year, further demonstrating its commitment to serving challenging property insurance markets. In the last year, eight property insurance companies in Louisiana have become insolvent because of excessive catastrophe losses and lack of adequate capital. At least 12 other companies have submitted withdrawal notices to leave the state.

By contrast, SUREs strong surplus, robust reinsurance program, and financial outlook indicate exceptional financial stability and staying power. Additionally, the companys underwriting partner SageSure is the leading property insurance MGU focused on catastrophe risks.

Challenging markets deserve innovative solutions backed by a track record of strong results, said Ed Konar, President of SURE. We are excited to partner with SageSure to be a long-term source of reliable coverage for Louisiana entrepreneurs and their growing businesses.

SageSures team underwrites a broad range of classes, including restaurants, retail and wholesale, offices, habitational, artisan contractors, and other services. In all, SUREs BOP program has eligibility for more than 300 classes.

Our team specializes in commercial risk across numerous classes to ensure broad appetite, tailored coverage, and competitive pricing, said Victor dos Santos, President of Commercial Insurance at SageSure. Our agent portal offers a best-in-class online quoting and binding experience that streamlines securing necessary protection for Louisiana business owners.

SUREs BOP offers coverage for a range of property loss events, liability for bodily injuries, liability for advertising injuries, loss of income caused by covered property events, and more. To learn more about SURE, visit sureins.com.
