WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- First Connect Insurance Services and Pathpoint are excited to announce their new partnership connecting independent agents to the nation's top carriers for small commercial excess and surplus (E&S) business. This collaboration will make placing small commercial E&S faster and easier than ever before for First Connect agents.
"Commercial lines have become an increasingly important growth channel for independent agents in light of the current personal lines market," said First Connect President Aviad Pinkovezky. "By partnering with Pathpoint we're providing First Connect agents with easy-to-use E&S products to better meet the unique need of small business owners."
Pathpoint makes it simple and efficient for independent agents to find the right E&S coverage for their small commercial clients. Through Pathpoint, agents can access multiple markets simultaneously from one convenient, digital platform. The streamlined process reduces time spent securing for coverage so that they can focus on better serving existing customers and growing their books of business.
"Pathpoint is proud to partner with First Connect," said Alex Bargmann, CEO of Pathpoint. "Pathpoint's goal is to make it easy for agents and brokers to access top tier E&S markets."
Through this new partnership, First Connect agents can submit applications to an expansive network of small commercial E&S markets and receive multiple bindable quotes through a single submission. This includes customized solutions for hard-to-place risks such as contractors, lessor's risk, vacant buildings and land, cyber liability, and more.
"Our mission is getting clients the coverage they need without spending hours identifying markets or going back and forth on a single risk," added Bargmann. "By working together with First Connect, we can ensure their agents have the support and resources they need to grow their commercial E&S books."
Pathpoint launched in 2020 and works with more than 11,000 agents nationwide to place small commercial E&S accounts using a self-service platform that streamlines quoting, binding, and policy issuance for faster turnaround times.
