WHY CHOOSE THEM

What This Carrier Does Well

Strength 1

Workers comp-only focus produces underwriting and claims expertise specifically for small business workers comp.

Strength 2

Competitive pricing for low-to-medium hazard Georgia small businesses against Pie Insurance and Employers.

Strength 3

Online underwriting tools allow fast quotes for the target small business segment.

LIMITATIONS TO KNOW

Where They Fall Short

Weakness 1

Workers comp only. No BOP, GL, or commercial auto. Pairs with another BOP carrier.

Weakness 2

Less established brand recognition than Hartford or Travelers among Georgia small business owners.

Weakness 3

Premium volume minimums can make AmTrust uncompetitive for micro businesses with fewer than 3 employees where per-unit cost is higher

Best Fit For

Small businesses and contractors needing workers compensation coverage, particularly trade and light manufacturing classes that are difficult to place in the preferred market at competitive rates.

Not A Good Fit For

Large commercial accounts or businesses with significant claims history. AmTrust's appetite is focused on smaller commercial risks with manageable loss runs.
