ARM Contracts With OneBeacon Insurance To Add To ARM Membership

Independent insurance agencies can expand their service capabilities and efficiencies--even in a tight economy--thanks to network opportunities through ARM (Associated Risk Managers). ARM'ss newest value-added service is a national contract with OneBeacon Insurance Company'ss flexible Small Business products. Offering over 350 available classes, OneBeacon tailors insurance solutions for a wide range of unique businesses, so ARM members can better match their clients's needs. The deal with OneBeacon adds another resource to ARM'ss revenue-generating initiatives. Other ARM membership benefits include on-line quoting tools, access to new markets, and discounted business systems.

    

According to Craig Payan, ARM Vice Chairman, ARM wanted to find a national carrier with a quality product and a commitment to the independent agent. We are very happy to have found that partner in OneBeacon Insurance. OneBeacon'ss Small Business services include customized OnePac insurance plans for apartment buildings, condominiums, auto service, manufacturers, offices, restaurants, retail and technology, among other small businesses. Their on-line program includes Package, Auto, Work Comp and Umbrella for most classes. Full-service support includes simplified claims reporting, on-line commission statements and a dedicated service center. If successful, Payan adds, the program could lead to opportunities with other OneBeacon business units.

        

Bob Erickson, Regional Territory Manager for OneBeacon Small Business, is equally optimistic about their relationship with ARM. We'sve brought two of the industry'ss leading forces together to deliver solid insurance products to the Small Business market. The partnership, he says, was a natural given both companies's emphasis on quality and integrity - and OneBeacon'ss geographic footprint aligns well with most ARM partner territories*.

    

ARM offers valuable advantages for the nation'ss leading independent insurance agents. In addition to business-building programs, ARM members can network with other agencies nationwide, share resources, and realize greater buying power.

ARM is the nation'ss foremost independent agency network, representing over 200 independent member organizations, 22 states, and $4 billion annually in premium volume.
