According to Cambridge, Md.-based ISG, no insurance provider has ever offered immediate, automated p-c business insurance coverage before.
"CCBsure is the first and only insurance program to enable small-business owners to rate, quote, bind and buy business owner's insurance coverage in a real-time environment," said G. Philip Feldman, CEO of ISG. "Once they're online at CCBsure.com, the entire process from application to receipt of a certificate of insurance takes less than 15 minutes."
Independent computer consultants usually work for a number of employers throughout the year, obtaining assignments on a project-by-project basis, either directly through employers or via temporary employment/IT staffing agencies, said ISG. Proof of business owner's p-c coverage is often a mandatory requirement for employment.
Insurance companies commonly issue business owner's p-c policies to cover damage to property, or personal injury to others, that may occur as a result of the business owner's activities on the job, ISG noted. The CCBsure plan is specifically designed to provide p-c insurance to independent computer consultants.
According to ISG, CCBsure rates and issues p-c insurance coverage during the applicant's visit to CCBsure.com. Applicants can pay for business owner's coverage by credit card online.
Once their business owner's policies are approved, CCBsure customers can return to CCBsure.com anytime to immediately print their own certificates of insurance, said ISG.
Administered nationally by ISG, CCBsure is a package of business insurance policies and financial services products tailored exclusively to the needs of information technology companies and independent computer consultants.
