Market Access Group was formed in 2004
to address the problem of effective representation in the Excess
& Surplus Lines, for the professional insurance agent.
Events of 2001 coupled with declining
interest rates and continued underwriting losses caused insuring
companies to re-evaluate their approach to their core business.
This resulted in the contraction of coverage available in the
“Standard” markets, and the expansion of the need for the
Excess & Surplus Lines markets.
Unfortunately, the Excess & Surplus
Lines segment of the market did not, and has not, responded to the
needs of the professional agent, in a professional fashion. The
Excess & Surplus Lines brokers have not differentiated between
the professional agent and the average agent. All submissions are
treated the same, regardless of quality or point of origin.
Market Access Group is different. We
acknowledge the fact that certain agents have demonstrated, over a
period of time, their commitment to excellence in all aspects of
their business. They hold themselves to higher professional, and
ethical standards. Market Access Group will form a “Partner”
type relationship with these agents.
Market Access Group believes that their
“Partners” have earned the right to the highest standards of
expertise, service and market availability, and are committed to
provide this increased level of representation.
Market Access Group will limit the
number of “Partners”, thus reducing the number of phone calls,
faxes, e-mails, etc. that drain the available time in each day. By
doing so, Market Access Group ensures that their time is available
to those agents who are exceptional in their business practices
and client selection. We will, thereby, deliver the finest
response to the finest agents.
We would welcome the opportunity to
discuss being your “Partner” in the pursuit of excellence.
