Frequently Asked Questions

  • Standard/admitted property insurance: Written by regulated insurers who must file rates and forms with the state.
  • E&S property insurance: Written by non-admitted insurers who can customize coverage terms and pricing for hard-to-place risks.

This flexibility allows businesses with unusual exposures to still secure protection.

Businesses that have property exposures outside the appetite of traditional markets may need Excess & Surplus coverage. Examples include:

  • Older or vacant buildings
  • Coastal properties with high wind or flood exposure
  • Businesses with prior losses or high claims activity
  • Specialized industries like habitational, mercantile/retail, restaurants, or offices with unique risks

Without Excess & Surplus markets, many businesses would be left uninsured. E&S property insurance ensures that companies with unique, complex, or high-risk profiles still have access to financial protection for their buildings, inventory, equipment, and business income.

No. Homeowners insurance is designed for personal residences. E&S property insurance is commercial coverage designed for business assets such as buildings, tenant improvements, inventory, and business personal property—especially when those risks don’t qualify for admitted market policies.

Coverage may include protection against fire, wind, hail, theft, vandalism, and other named perils. Depending on the insurer and the property, endorsements may be available for flood, earthquake, or other excluded risks. Because E&S carriers are not bound by standard filed forms, they can tailor coverage to specific exposures.
