Coterie Insurance

Coterie Insurance reimagines underwriting, eliminating complexity and helping agents and brokers efficiently secure coverage for small businesses.

Agents and brokers in the evolving small business insurance market are bogged down by time-consuming paperwork, outdated systems and diverse client needs, all while navigating competitive pressures and evolving risks. Maintaining client relationships and staying updated on the developments in the market add to the complexity.

Coterie efficiently addresses these challenges through its innovative platform—SimplyBind Experience. Harnessing the power of data and technology, it delivers accurate pricing and bindable insurance quotes in less than a minute. This fast, user-friendly experience allows professionals to spend less time on paperwork and more time building trusted relationships with clients and focusing on their growth.

Unlike a quoting experience that asks several questions, putting the onus on the producer to find answers, Coterie's new dashboard prefills information based on two data points—business name and address—saving agents and brokers 75 percent more time. It can also obtain other publicly available, non-personally identifiable data which it promptly validates. Clients will have the opportunity to review and update the prefilled information. The platform then leverages automated underwriting to generate accurate, bindable quotes quickly, generating coverage options tailored to the distinct needs of each business. This solution not just makes the process quicker but allows agents to prospect more efficiently with accurate information about this business upfront.

Insurance agents nationwide benefit from Coterie’s data-driven, user-friendly solutions. Its relentless pursuit of excellence has garnered exceptional customer acclaim. A glowing testimonial reads: "Coterie has made quoting so easy. No accord forms and numerous calls to UW." Another stellar testimonial reads: "Very easy for quoting, prices are excellent! Customer service is a great help when needed." Addressing the most significant industry pain points and transforming agent workflows, the platform sets a new standard for efficiency in insurance operations.

In addition to the revolutionary platform, Coterie offers agents a comprehensive suite of resources designed to support their success. This includes downloadable appetite guides, educational webinars and marketing materials, all aimed at enhancing their expertise and efficiency. With 24/7 support, Coterie ensures brokers have continuous access to the guidance they need, empowering them to thrive in a fast-paced market.

Moving beyond providing tools to help agents grow actively—it partners with them. Listing agents on its Find an Agent page and offering marketing and resource guides, the company drives business directly to its partners. The centralized dashboard further simplifies claims, billing and policy management, consolidating everything agents need in one place.

On a parallel front, Coterie operates as an agency that directly supports small businesses by offering tailored coverage options. Since its launch in 2018, Coterie has prioritized collaboration with small businesses, delivering solutions that address the unique risks of the small commercial space. Its offerings range from Business Owners’ Policies to General Liability and Professional Liability, ensuring comprehensive protection for diverse needs, including home-based businesses. Recent expansions, such as cyber insurance endorsements, further demonstrate Coterie's commitment to safeguarding businesses.

Coterie Insurance’s approach calls attention to the broader trend in the insurance industry’s shift toward digital-first solutions. Addressing inefficiencies and focusing on partnerships, it is setting a new standard for small business insurance—one that benefits agents, brokers and policyholders alike.
