The SUA Partner Agent structure combines the best of both worlds—critical industry insights and exceptional product capabilities—to develop products tailored for specialty markets.

We depend on our best-in-class Partner Agents’ intimate understanding of the insurance needs of businesses in market niches. The Partner Agents in turn rely on SUA for our product, underwriting and claims expertise.

As a result of this shared knowledge, we are able to create unique, custom programs that fit the needs of difficult-to-insure industries.

The benefits of partnering with SUA:

• A strong commitment – We provide our Partner Agents with five-year exclusive arrangements covering specific classes of business and territory. SUA controls the underwriting authority and claims handling, while policies are marketed and distributed through the Partner Agent.
• Cutting-edge technology – Our web-based, technology platform reduces processing and administrative work, keeping operating costs to a minimum and providing access at any time from a location that has internet connectivity. It delivers an efficient, integrated platform for improved workflow and consistent policy issuance, access to claims information and improved data collection. Our Partner Agents also have access to our data warehouse, helping them make informed underwriting and business decisions.
• Financial strength – SUA’s parent company is publicly traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market (SUAI). We meet the rigorous state standards to qualify as an admitted carrier in each state in which we operate and we have received a secure A.M. Best rating of B+.
• Profit sharing potential – Because both SUA and our Partner Agents share long-term goals of profitability and stability, significant profit sharing opportunities exist.
• A wealth of experience – Each member of our seasoned and highly successful senior management team has extensive experience with leading insurance companies.

If you are an expert in a particular market and face unique business challenges, SUA may be able to provide solutions. We’re always looking to expand our customer base with agents that have knowledge of unique market segments and serve homogenous groups.
