FORT WORTH, Texas—InsureZone Inc. said Thursday that it has added middle-market underwriter Sequoia Insurance Co. to its online commercial rating platform.
The Fort Worth, Texas-based InsureZone, which provides independent brokers and agents with comparative ratings of personal and commercial insurers, on-demand policy quotes and branded wholesale websites, said in a statement that the partnership with Sequoia is the first step in its push to expand its roster of state-level insurers.
"Our goal for 2012 is to add the carriers required by our partner agencies so that they have a true comparative rating experience with all of the carriers in their market," InsureZone President Ed Gillman said in the statement. “By focusing on developing our state-level roster of carriers, we're able to offer agents options that they wouldn't otherwise have without a direct appointment.”
In addition to single-state underwriters, Mr. Gillman said InsureZone, which serves more than 20,000 independent agents nationwide, also is open to including regional insurers in its databases.
