I operate an agency that acts in NC, SC, VA, GA, and TN. If I had the choice, I would say operate in SC. You have more coverages available and the rates aren't as controlled as they are in NC. Many carriers have backed out or pulled punches in underwriting appetite or coverage because of NC controll...

If possible, insure the business risk and the HO risk together with the same company. It would make it substantially easier to have a claim be covered since the insurance company is on the hook either way. It would also make it a lot easier to talk to an underwriter and ensure the coverages are in p...

How does the AAI compare to the CIC? Are they equivalent or is one more advanced than the other?

I was looking online and found several older books (2000, 2006, 2009, etc.) for the CPCU exams whereas the CPCU website now has books that are first editions made in either 2012 or 2011. These books are far more expensive than the older counterparts. Would I be at any disadvantage using the older bo...
