MenuCan you please clarify which mutual insurance companies are actually considered lawful for auto insurance?
Please specify - state farm and other companies claim to be mutual insurance but not sure how to become a shareholder/and policyholder rather than just a policy holder?
Also, there are a few brothers in different states that are willing to work together on a system/solution for this that you said you were working on. How do we learn more about that?

Mutual Insurance of any product as pertaining to automobiles in this terms is owned and governed at it's entirety by the policyholders. In this case, any profit that is realized is meant to be retained within the company or is given as a rebate to the policyholders as dividends (i.e the owners of the insured automobiles.) This is the flowchart of how this insurance model works.

When starting a rental car company where is the best place to look for insurance?
I am regularly asked questions similar to this by new business owners or business owners expanding to a new venture. Insurance has many niches that exist in the commercial insurance space, this is one of them. A couple of places to start; 1. If you already have a broker who handles commercial insurance this would be your first conversation. 2. Even if you have that, a second opinion is a good place to start. Do a quick search in an area in a different part of your state. Try and find a similar operation. Call and introduce yourself and see who they use. Since you are not competition they are likeley to gladly make a referral. 3.Typically associations have a ready made policy just for you. Give this a shot; https://www.acraorg.com/ 4. if leasing from a larger operation, I bet they have someone ready and willing to speak with you as well. Best of luck. Happy to chat further.BV

How to collaborate with insurance companies (B2B)?
Start by getting a doctor to 'sponsor' you - to recommend it to their patients. Give them a few for free so their patients can try it out - which will get the physician sold on it. Meanwhile, also start reaching out to the right people in the appropriate insurance companies through LinkedIn and via email. You may also want to connect with people who have been in Insurance - like Jeff, Daniel, Craig, or Liran here: https://clarity.fm/search/insurance When you reach out to executives in insurance, keep it personal, and tell them you are looking for their advice. I have a 12 step system to walk you through the sales process once you get a call lined up, but to get you started you could read The Little Red Book of Selling (quick read) or The New Strategic Selling (dense but invaluable). SNAP Selling is good too. Remember, this is all about relationships, so start with personal. InMails recently changed to make it easy for you to keep costs down for outreach. As long as you get a high response rate, your cost of $10 per unanswered InMail will go a long way. If you can't use InMails, try sending samples with testimonials and call them to discuss the day after you expect them to receive it. Use FedEx sign on delivery to increase the chance it gets to them instead of a mail room or secretary.RD

I'm thinking of starting a web-based software-as-a-service company. What business insurance coverage does it make sense to get?
None. There are two basic reasons to get business insurance. First, if you're making enough money that you're worth suing. That does not apply in this case. Second, if your clients require you to have insurance before accepting you as a vendor for certain services. Most large companies will require service vendors to fulfill certain liability requirements. But for a SaaS offering, especially if the pricing model is a low subscription, you won't trigger the conditions that have their purchasing department demanding you get insurance. It applies more to vendors who are either offering personalized services (like consultants) or service providers who bill very large dollar amounts. So get insurance when you first start making pots of money OR when a first large enterprise client makes it a condition of working with you. Don't waste money before that.VR
