COMMERCIAL P&C PROGRAM UPDATES:

 

Mobile Food Risks - Admitted Auto/GL/IM Package (if qualifies)

If you’ve noticed the trend there are more and more mobile food options every time you look.  From your neighborhood taco truck to rows of mobile food carts lined up at concerts, festivals, and fairs, they’re just about any place hungry people convene.  It’s also clear that not all mobile food operations are the same.  There are food trucks with all of the kitchen equipment built in.  There are trailers pulled by trucks and dropped off at their final destination, and there are also food carts without wheels. 

At PIU we can help you with all of them!

 

Food Trucks:  (Auto, GL, Property, & I.M.)

PIU’s Business Auto Quick Quote sheet (or Acord), plus the "Restaurant /Tavern /Bar  Supplemental Application” application with Acord 125 & 126 and 146 (if I.M.)

 If risk qualifies, an admitted package with Auto/GL/IM is available!

 

Food Carts:  (GL,  Property, & I.M.)

The attached “Food Services” application with accord 125 & 126.  For property accord 140, and for I.M. Acord 146.   

If risk qualifies, an admitted package with GL/Poperty/IM is available!

 

Admitted carriers available for vehicles.  Admitted or non-admitted available for GL & property, depending on the specifics of the risk. All carriers “A” rated or better.

Tattoo & Piercing Program. -All tattoo & piercing artists in WA were required to be insured as of 7/1/10, and many currently are still not.  Others may have put in place "premises only" liability policies that do not cover all of their exposures.  PIU's program includes professional liability, transmittal of infectious disease (which other programs exclude), with many many coverage options. Our unique program has had some exciting recent updates.  Infectious disease coverage is now available at higher limits than we previously offered.  We have removed the CPR requirement, and now allow tattooing on minors age 15 and older.  Assault & Battery coverage now available too.  Our program can cover permanent make-up and no longer excludes "blushing" or "eye shadowing."

Medicinal Marijuana Dispensaries. - A number of states have enacted legislation legalizing the use of marijuana for medical purposes and it appears this trend will continue.  Typically, these businesses operate much like any retail store and the business owner needs premises only coverage in order to satisfy a landlord’s certificate requirements. 

 

PIU’s Medical Marijuana Distributors coverage policy provides property and liability coverage to

distributors of marijuana for medical purposes, in any state where this type of operation legally

exists, and where we may offer this coverage on a non-admitted basis.

OTHER UPDATES:

 

NPP premium financing & financing incentive program

It makes sense to finance policies at the same place where the policy is serviced.  There’s less chance for confusion resulting from incorrect premiums, policy numbers, and policy terms/conditions, not to mention coordinating cancellations and reinstatements. NPP premium financing is available for most accounts written through PIU with a few exceptions.  Policy premiums must be in excess of $1000.00 and typically 25% down is required.  Transportation policies being placed through the ACH program do not qualify.  Please contact Brian: brian@piuinc.com with any questions as there may be a few other exceptions.  Please request that we forward you a finance agreement with your quote, or get you set up with your own user ID & password to create your own agreement.  PIU is also offering you an incentive to use the program.  Click here for details!
