Every policy is eligible for a payment plan upon request. A 20% down payment is required, after which NIA can split up the rest of your payments over the next 8 installments.
Once you’ve submitted a complete application for coverage through a licensed insurance broker, it can take seven days or more to receive a quote. Here’s why:
In coordination with your broker, you’ll be asked to complete a thorough application which inquires about your size, your operations, and key factors — like whether or not you have volunteers, host events, or serve children or the elderly.
This information will be included in the application submitted by the broker to NIA.
The NIA team must then review, analyze, and price the risk presented by your operations. You’ll receive an email from NIA letting you know that teams are working on a quote.
When the quote is complete, your broker will retrieve it from NIA’s secure website, and review its terms and conditions with you.
