Practical information about working with A Squared.
Questions & answers
Before we get started.
What does a broker cost?
Compensation may include insurer commission and, where applicable, disclosed fees. Ask how the proposed placement is compensated and what taxes or fees apply before committing.
What businesses do you focus on?
Commercial insurance, with particular focus on transportation, commercial real estate and hospitality. We also support small businesses and middle-market organizations with broader commercial programs.
What experience does your team bring?
Our founding team has operated a commercial insurance brokerage in Canada since 2010. A Squared brings that experience to U.S. businesses, with particular expertise in complex commercial risks.
What happens when I use the contact form?
The form prepares an email draft. It does not submit an application or send a message by itself. You can open the draft in your email app or copy it and email info@a2insurance.com. We can then agree on the next step and how to share documents.
Can you help with certificates?
Contact the service team with the certificate holder and relevant requirements. Availability and turnaround depend on the request and policy. Where your insurer or program supports it, online document access may be available. A certificate does not change coverage.
When should we begin a renewal review?
Start early enough to gather updated information, resolve coverage questions and evaluate options before your policies expire. Complex fleets, property portfolios and alternative-risk arrangements may require several months. We will agree on a timeline that fits your business.
Where can you place coverage?
Availability depends on agency licensing, insurer eligibility and the risk. See our licensing page and ask us to confirm your state and the specific coverage before proceeding.
When is a captive worth considering?
A readiness review should examine loss data, financial capacity, governance, scale and a multi-year commitment. Premium size alone is not enough. Expected results, adverse losses, collateral, operating costs and exit arrangements all need analysis.
