Overview
About This Carrier
Hanover Insurance Group writes small and mid-market commercial accounts through independent agents only, no direct or program-channel competition on pricing. On the commercial side, Hanover writes business owners policy, workers comp, commercial auto, management liability, professional liability, and cyber. Their BOP terms are competitive for the small and mid-market segment, and the full package means most standard commercial accounts can be placed under one carrier rather than split across markets. Available through Olive Cover for businesses looking for a regional admitted carrier with direct independent agent relationships and consistent underwriting on preferred commercial risks.
