Moving from Harper

Harper is a commercial broker focused on hard-to-place industries, including contractors, care providers, manufacturers and transportation businesses. Its homepage describes a specialist-led process: learn about the business, contact insurers and explain the options. A quote request starts an inquiry and doesn’t show a premium or issued policy.

Why businesses consider switching

  • 01

    Your risk profile eased or worsened

    A cleaner loss record can open standard markets, while a new exposure can need a specialist.

  • 02

    You added operations

    New vehicles, jobs, locations or states can change what the program needs.

  • 03

    You want a different servicing style

    Some owners like portals and reminders, others like a phone call.

  • 04

    A contract names a rating or form

    Customers sometimes require insurers of a certain financial strength or specific wording.

How to switch without a gap

  • 01

    Confirm renewal and notice terms

    Harper describes policy reviews and reminders but no fixed renewal commitment. Ask what notice your insurers expect.

  • 02

    Get proposals early

    Hard-to-place risks can take time to market, so start well ahead of the date.

  • 03

    Never let a specialty policy lapse

    Hard-to-place policies can be difficult to replace quickly. Keep each policy active until its replacement is confirmed in writing.

  • 04

    Save your portal records

    Download policies and certificates before servicing moves, since Harper’s portal needs an invitation to enter. Afterward, send out fresh certificates.

Common questions

What does a broker want to know about a hard-to-place risk?

Your operations, revenue, states, claims history and the coverage you need. Your Spot team assembles these into one document that any broker you consider can use.

Can I move only the policies that are hard to place?

Sometimes. Specialty policies sometimes go to a different broker from standard ones. Your Spot team lists each policy and who services it, so splitting is planned.

Does Harper work with Spot?

No. Spot isn’t affiliated with Harper. We name it only so you know whose program this page is about.

Is switching in the middle of a term possible?

Sometimes, using a broker of record letter, but insurers and agreements set the terms. Your Spot team reviews each policy first, because a hard-to-place line may be best left until renewal.

Will Spot take a share of my premiums?

No. Spot doesn’t earn commissions on premiums and works next to your broker, new or old.
