I Don’t Put My E&O With Just Anyone

You may or may not have seen my testimonial on IIAV’s exclusive E&O program for members. I would like to share a part of this again, but also add some new and exciting news.

I Don’t Put My E&O With Just Anyone.

“I co-founded our agency in 2006 with a passion to bring big insurance service to small and medium businesses. ‘Every business is big for its owners and employees and deserves full attention from those providing goods and services.’ I understand the importance of placing our agency’s E&O with a high-quality/stable carrier and an experienced servicing staff that will listen to your needs and help find solutions to address your insurance coverage requirements at a competitive price.  IIAV/VFSC has the markets and professional insurance staff our agency requires.”
– Robert F. Iocco, EIC, CPA
President, Trustpoint Insurance

IIAV, through its subsidiary VFSC, has been providing Agency E&O coverage in Virginia for over 50 years, with strategic carrier partnerships specifically designed with the needs of Virginia insurance agents in mind. This means, you have options.

This is where the exciting news comes in.

Starting this March, Swiss Re Corporate Solutions is going through a name change to streamline its operations. The financial rating and stability remain the same: AM Best rating is A+ (Superior). Along with the name change brings several policy form enhancements, and policyholders will continue to have free risk management resources from the E&O Happens website.

A few highlights to the new form:

• Two new deductible reduction options
• Consent to settle clause removed
• Insolvency exclusion, relaxing the AM Best rating requirement from B+ to B.
• Enhanced definition of Professional Services to include client referrals
• Key Employee Assistance (New Coverage)

IIAV agency members also have exclusive access to First Specialty Corporation (the non-admitted company of Swiss Re) that has special programs for Keystone Partner agencies, Alliances and/or the larger more complex agencies.

We will work hard for you to find solutions to address our insurance coverage requirements at a competitive price with our high-quality carriers.

So, whether you are a start up agency, mid-size or large, don’t miss out on getting a quote on your E&O insurance through IIAV/VFSC if you are not already one of the over 70% of agency members who do.
