Expanding Commercial Lines

Build a commercial workflow that scales with you.

Commercial accounts carry more paper, more people and more markets than a personal lines household. Mint is building the workspace for them: the account, its locations and schedules, the submission and the renewal, in one place.

In developmentConcept screen with sample data. The commercial accounts workspace is being built with early access agencies.

Why commercial is different

A household is a record. A business is an account.

One insured, five policies, three effective dates and a schedule that changes every time they buy a truck. Commercial work breaks systems built around a single auto policy.

  • Many lines, one insured

    GL, BOP, commercial auto, workers’ comp and umbrella, often with different carriers and different X-dates.

  • Schedules that move midterm

    Vehicles, drivers, locations and equipment get added and deleted all year, and every change is an endorsement.

  • Paper before a price

    Applications, supplementals, five years of loss runs and payroll by class code before a market will look at it.

  • Certificates on demand

    General contractors, landlords and lenders all want a certificate of insurance, and they want it today.

Account structure

Business, locations, policies, contacts. In that order.

The account sits on top. Under it, every location with what is garaged and stored there, every policy with its carrier and X-date, and the people you actually deal with: the owner, the office manager who asks for certificates, the accountant who handles the payroll audit.

In developmentToday, a business is a client in Mint with its policies, documents and activity.

Submissions and markets

Know where every submission stands.

Send the same account to three markets and you have three conversations: one quoted, one wants loss runs, one declined on class. The submission tracker keeps them on the account instead of in your sent folder.

Applications and forms

Fill the application once. Not once per market.

Upload the ACORD-style applications and carrier supplementals your agency already uses, and map each field to client data one time. Mint fills what it knows, your team answers the rest, and the finished PDF is filed on the client.

  • Fillable PDFs are read field by field; flat PDFs get boxes you draw
  • Each published version stays as it was, so an old application can be rebuilt
  • Your library is yours: Mint does not ship carrier forms

Renewal pipeline

Start the renewal 120 days out, not 30.

A commercial renewal is a project with a deadline. The pipeline works back from the X-date so loss runs are in, exposures are updated and the account is remarketed before the carrier’s renewal offer shows up.

  1. 120 days

    Gather

    Request loss runs. Update payroll, revenue and schedules.

  2. 90 days

    Remarket

    Supplementals signed. Submissions out to markets.

  3. 60 days

    Compare

    Quotes back next to the renewal offer.

  4. 30 days

    Propose

    Proposal to the insured. Bind orders out.

  5. X-date

    Issue

    Policies issued. Certificates to holders.

In developmentToday, renewals show on the dashboard, reminder emails go out on their own and each step can be a task with an owner and a due date.

Questions

What commercial producers ask

Can we put our commercial clients in Mint today?

Yes. A business is a client in Mint with its policies, documents, tasks, email and activity, and your commercial lines show up in reports. Locations, schedules and submissions arrive with the commercial workspace.

Does Mint send submissions to carriers electronically?

Not today. The submission tracker in development records where each market stands on the account. We do not claim connections to carriers or markets that do not exist.

Can Mint fill our applications and supplementals?

Yes. Upload the PDF once, map each field to client data, and Mint fills what it knows. Your team answers the rest, and the document is filed on the client.

Can we help shape the commercial workspace?

That is what early access is for. Agencies that write commercial tell us how they work an account, and that is what we build next.
