Geo. F. Brown & Sons, Inc.
Founded in Chicago in 1912, Geo. F. Brown & Sons, Inc. (GFB), is a specialty lines insurance wholesaler, managing general agent and program administrator. Committed to the retail insurance agent, GFB provides exclusivity with our broad carrier representation, knowledgeable and experienced underwriters and brokers, responsive and reliable service, and excellence in our daily business practices.
GFB quickly developed a reputation for innovative solutions for complex and unusual risks. That reputation remains strong to this day. We have been at the forefront of the hospitality industry for almost 50 years with our liquor liability program. Our relationship with the RSUI Group provides a strong and viable market for the retail agent.
In May we made an announcement to the marketplace about our new online quoting capability for new business called “Quote on Tap.”
Designed specifically for bars and restaurants with sales less than or equal to $500,000 and/or retail package stores with sales less than or equal to $1 million, Quote on Tap enables you to complete our liquor liability application online, receive your quote, bind it, and receive the policy number in a matter of minutes. It’s simple, it’s quick, it’s full coverage, including assault and battery at policy limits, and it’s on A rated paper.
In addition, August renewals went live in July which included pre-populated information, streamlining the entire process even further.
Mark Strong, president and CEO of Geo. F. Brown & Sons, Inc., said, “After a successful test market in Illinois, we are working diligently on our state expansion rollout.” Look for more information as it becomes available.
