Small Business

The Kinsale Small Business Division concentrates on smaller risks with an emphasis on contractors and OL&T/premises related exposures. We offer our Brokers an alternative to their traditional binding authority markets by providing rapid turnaround time and a broader risk appetite than those markets. Submissions are generally reviewed and quoted within four hours. We define a small risk as having revenue under $2,500,000, apartments less than 200 units, area under 100,000 square feet, buildings less than 200,000 square feet and vacant land less than 1,500 acres. A business that does not fit our Small Business Casualty definition is sent the same day to the appropriate Kinsale underwriting division.
