A business insurance was required in the state that I resided in but the other quotes were way too large for the public and what they had in other places. So, I decided to go with an independent agent and Suracy guided me in choosing one. We do contracting for one of the main businesses that they hold and they were recommended from our contractor.

Thank you for your feedback! Our main goal is to provide outstanding coverage solutions at competitive pricing. We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to serve you in the future.

I do smart home installation where I do security cameras, doorbells, door locks, garage door openers, and all this stuff that's connected to Wi-Fi and you can control it through your iPhone or Android or whatever you've got. I've picked up a job doing this leaf filter installation. But that LeafFilter is an outside type of job and I can't do that right now because it's freezing cold in my area. I needed insurance to be able to protect myself whether I'm on a ladder and I fall off so that I have workman's comp. If I damaged something, I broke a window by mistake, I had general liability. I ended up going with Suracy because Dan at LeafFilter told me that they already provide this through LeafFilter. They have all the information and they know how to get LeafFilter taken care of. Also, this would be the easiest and fastest way to go with it. When I contacted Suracy, it took a little while to get my quote going. Dan was pressing me really hard to get moving.
I called a couple of competitors and fished around, and found out the workman's comp didn't cover me. It covered other people if they work for me, which wasn't going to work. Then the limited liability from a couple of other companies didn't protect me the same way that this would against accidental damage because from when I got the insurance through Liberty Mutual, it was a million-dollar protection. It ended up becoming contacting two separate providers. It was a lot less convenient. When Jay got back to me with everything, it was just, hey, and walk away. So it was much more convenient that way for me. Things worked out really well. He was really professional and answered every question I had. I'm very satisfied with what happened.

When I went to LeafFilter which is the place I subcontract through for my work, they recommended insurance providers and Suracy was one of them. The policy is the best price for what I wanted to do and I was able to get it done quickly. It was pretty easy. I have my liability insurance with them. I have an insurance agent that I was dealing with directly and he took care of everything.
The only thing was I don’t have a regular bank account. I had a prepaid card and I couldn’t set up my thing with my card. The other option was to pay the whole policy up front. I understand why Suracy didn't accept prepaid, especially doing it over a yearly plan. How would they know that the money would be in there every month? In the end, my uncle helped me and I was able to work things out. That was the only issue I had but that was my fault.

Hi Jason. Thanks for your feedback! We are glad you were able to secure appropriate coverage at a competitive price, as that is our goal at Suracy.

Nobody wanted to insure us until we gave Suracy a call and they figured things out. But I hated that they were a bit expensive. My worker's comp was easy-aspie.com and it was half of the price that Suracy quoted me. But I still went with Suracy. They are the best company that I've ever dealt with customer service-wise and experience-wise. I loved their customer service. Every time I call, Greg would be there. Wes was awesome too. They gave me so many different options from Liberty Mutual to Pie to another one.
We got the general liability from Suracy because we didn't wanna waste time. But for the worker's comp, we ended up doing our own shopping with independent companies that were referred to us to sign up with. It was cheaper applying to them than it was with Suracy. That aside, everything was perfect from Suracy's customer service to the insurance offers to the guy emailing me right away to the job.

I became an independent installation contractor and they told me I had to have a business insurance. I called Suracy and they gave me an agent. They had a deal set up with the company I was installing for. Everything seems good except the billing was a little flawed. I paid the initial down payment and they sent me a bill for the same down payment. Then, they sent me a cancellation letter, telling me that I didn’t pay the initial payment. In that same letter, there was a cancellation cover letter with a statement showing that I had a -$0.40 balance.

Thank you very much for your feedback, Mark. We appreciate your business and apologize for the issues you experienced regarding your invoice.

I was getting ready to start subcontracting for a company called Leaf Home Safety Solutions. They already had an insurance policy deal and they hooked me through Suracy. I didn't end up going that route, but I decided to keep the insurance through Suracy. Now, I’m getting ready to go take my builder's license test and I plan on venturing off doing some stuff on my own. So the insurance is good to have. I love feeling like I am covered. It gives me peace of mind just knowing that. It leans more towards a contractor with insurance, as opposed to somebody who’s just off the street. What I love, as far as I understand, there’s no deductible.

The whole process was kinda unorganized and that's the only reason that I canceled out the policy. I was gonna call Suracy today because I received the refund check for one of my policies that I took out but hadn't received the second one yet. But I didn't have a problem with them. It was more or less the partner Suracy connected me with. As far as the insurance side of it, Suracy was great. If I was in the market again for insurance, I would definitely look at Suracy before I look at any other company.

I only purchased a limited liability and he walked me through everything and explained to me the different types of insurance coverages, what I would need, and what the different coverages meant. I've never been in the insurance industry but now I feel like I know a little bit more when it comes to it.

I was looking for business insurance and AmVenture was the first company that responded back without having me dunk through loopholes. The person I spoke to at first did an excellent job. I used AmVenture to get to Hitchcock but when I contacted Hitchcock about the policy, I found out that AmVenture was not the main policyholder. Also, I had an issue with my policy and I called AmVenture back to let them know about it but I never got a callback. I was then told to cancel my policy because the dates were wrong. I did that and I had to redo the process. But I was satisfied that they cancelled my policy. There was just extra work that I had to go through.

I switched offices and I wanted to find something a bit more affordable because the previous insurance company was ADP and they were really expensive. My brother uses AmVenture for his business and he recommended them for me. The rep, Eric, wasn’t trying to tell me anything else. He just answered all my questions and got me signed up. He was straightforward and took care of everything right away. I was laying it on my end because I was in the middle of switching offices and he was really good about keeping in contact with me, so I didn’t forget. I pay AmVenture less than half the price of what ADP was charging me. It has only been three weeks and so far, my experience has been excellent. I’d highly recommend them.

I'm in the state of New York and my wife was getting the pay but she's not working at all. To pay for her social security, we send checks. I looked at a New York worker’s comp website and found info about employees not enrolled at the location and just working behind. I learned a different code and the rate is lower than a regular employee because they enroll at a higher risk. But the current company I had was not willing to work with me even though I gave them all the information on the websites. I looked at two companies and AmVenture is the cheapest and I'm happy with that. Their rep, Connie, understood me and she was very knowledgeable. When I called, she answered the phone. If she promised me that she would call me back, she called me back in a timely manner. I'm pretty satisfied. Do business with AmVenture. They're a good company.

I had an employee who was in a car accident and I was not aware that my auto insurance wouldn’t cover him. Somebody had hit him and it wasn’t his fault. But he was injured real lightly and he exaggerated his injuries. So he filed a workers’ compensation claim but we don’t have that here in Missouri. If you have five or fewer employees, by law, you don’t have to have it. The other insurance company was gonna pay for his injuries and it was fine but I was tired of worrying about it. I didn’t wanna stress out about what would happen if somebody gets hurt.
I inquired about workers’ compensation insurance and when I dealt with the AmVenture, it was seamless and straightforward. They sent me some forms to sign and fax back to them. I wasn’t knowledgeable about this and they walked me through it and guided me. Then I gave them a credit card and it’s on autopay every month. I hope I never have to use the insurance, but it’s there in case I do. Nonetheless, it was a very good experience and I might get our business and our auto insurance through them also if we can get a better rate. Right now, I have those through Allstate but they’re expensive.

I’m new to owning a business and I had to get a lot of COI’s for different companies done up. Marshawn helped me greatly and he pretty much helped me through everything. The guidance that I received was good and the AmVenture staff were all fine.
However, we were trying to get a clause done up by AmVenture called a non-contributed clause and they don’t offer it but that's the only problem I’ve had with them. I was told that they are gonna start offering it within the next three or four months so that’s gonna be better for a lot of people that need that. But I don’t know if I can wait that long because my biggest client is asking for that clause and I can’t lose them over one stupid thing. So I’m not sure if we’re gonna have to switch to another insurance because of that reason. Nevertheless, AmVenture's prices are pretty fair and I looked around at a few different places. And as long as you don’t need that non-contributory clause, I would recommend them.

When I was shopping around for business insurance, I was getting quotes from different companies and I was gonna go for whoever gave me the best price and the best service. I saw AmVenture in some review site and they got good reviews. But when I got the quote from them, it listed that Hiscox was on there. It seemed like Hiscox was underwriting every policy that I was getting quotes for.
AmVenture's quote also came out a little bit lower than the one I got from Hiscox. So, I called Hiscox and gave them the quote number because I intended to do business directly with Hiscox. But the Hiscox agent told me that there was one benefit. And since Hiscox was responsive and AmVenture was responsive, it encouraged me to execute the policy that AmVenture had done for me. And it made sense because I'd have more recourse. If I can't talk to Hiscox directly if I need to, I can talk to somebody at AmVenture, and that felt like some kind of benefit to me.
The rep I worked with, Jasleen, was polite and to the point. But it was kind of confusing who my agent was and who I was really dealing with because I spoke to Jasleen then somebody else’s name and email address appeared when I was given the quote, which was through the agency of some other guy. So, I didn’t like that part. Other than that, it seems like Hiscox is the only game in town and if my friends asked me, I'd tell them to go to Hiscox's or AmVenture. Those are the only ones that stick in my mind for business insurance, especially for IT and the type of things that me and my peers do. I'd probably say Hiscox first, but I might mention AmVenture if they want another option.
