Episodic Short-Term SMB

Market Detail: Thimble invites brokers to join its broker program to easily refer customers to its episodic short term general liability insurance by Thimble (underwritten by Markel) and earn commission in perpetuity at www. thimble.com/broker. The company says it is built on a simple idea: one-size-fits-all annual insurance coverage doesn’t meet the needs of modern business. Its on-demand episodic insurance was designed to provide a more flexible and affordable alternative to expensive annual plans, with coverage by the hour, the day, or the month. You can extend all the way to a full year. With our intuitive interface, transparent pricing, and comprehensive coverage options, we aim to make purchasing insurance straightforward so that you can focus on providing the very best service to your customers. See appetite guide: thimble.com/list-of-all-included-activities. $2 million maximum premium; $1 million minimum premium.
