Providing a Platform to Profit

from an Online World


December 2013

Opportunity
As more and more insurance is purchased online, how
do you
Profit from this increasing trend to an online world?
Minimize and hedge the risk of your existing investments
in the traditional Agent-MGA-Carrier model of
distribution?
Capitalize on this business model to distribute profitable
programs and cherry-pick the low-risk, high reward
products for a captive insurance company, the best
investment and tax-advantaged entity available for
accumulating and reinvesting capital.

Online is Key
Distributing insurance online is a key way to both cut
prices and generate favorable returns.
Insurers will likely benefit from the continued rise in internet sales as firms establish strong online
presences similar to discount retailers Geico and Progressive. This trend is important because these
firms can sell products at lower rates and still generate favorable returns due to the low-cost
nature of online sales, since they do not have to pay commissions and wages to brokers and
agents.
(Source: IBISWorld Industry Report, Property, Casualty, and Direct Insurance in the US," December
2011)

Our competitors have channel conflict, whereas we do


not. This is a major advantage to our model.
Customers are moving online, but insurers risk alienating their agents if they develop direct
distribution channels. Agents fear that the Internet will cannibalize their sales Agent fear of the
Web has dissuaded several North American and European insurers from fully embracing eBusiness
for either quotations or full online sales.
(Source: Forrester, How to Develop An Effective Multichannel Insurance Distribution Strategy, June
8, 2009)

Auto Insurance is a Harbinger of the Future


The rapid move to online distribution of car insurance is a
precursor of a general industry trend of moving online

(Source: McKinsey & Company, Journey III: The Next Frontier in Property & Casualty Insurance," January 2011)

Industry Experts feel that within the next 10 years, a majority of


small and medium sized insurance policies (both personal and
business) will be purchased online.

What Makes a Good Online Insurance Product?


1.

Low to Moderate Average Sales Price. Currently, customers are comfortable spending $25

2.

The Insurance Policy is purchased because it is compulsory and buyer also needs
insurance for compliance. Car and homeowners insurance (Geico and Progressive), Business

to $2,500 on automated, online insurance sites without having actual contact with customer
relationship/sales personnel. Higher purchase price is still a trust sale. However, with the long
term trend towards more computer savvy users, online insurance purchasing will only grow. As
more and more Generation X and the Millennials move into the workforce, purchasing online is
second-nature to these demographics.

Owners Policies Hiscox system in U.K. and recent roll-out in United States)--Special Event Liability
Insurance (i.e. DirectEventInsurance, EventHelper), etc.

3.

Traditional insurance distribution chain adding very little value to policy holder.

4.

Underwriting and Pricing of the Product lends itself to standardized in-the-box,


rules-based rater and issuance. Anticipate 10% to 20% of submissions will have exceptions

Products are easy to understand. Independent agents and brokers are not providing consultative
selling or hand-holding advice in the traditional model. The majority of customer service issues
and policy administration is easily transacted online by policyholder. COI issuance, change of
address, and billing updated through online system. Online chat capability and IVR phone system
are necessary as well as intuitive online GUI.

that are kicked out of the system for applying actual judgment, discernment, and humanunderwriting review.

Case Study:
Event Insurance
Brand launched and listed in top ten on Google for the
Event Insurance search term.
Operation hit cash-flow break-even in less than 18
months.
Second site iteration deployed as we have increased
automation and marketing sophistication.
$270,000 in revenue YTD 2013 and more than $900,000 in
premium. Budgeted to grow to more than $1,000,000 in
net revenue over next three years.

Current Excess Motor Truck Cargo Insurance


Profitable but Low-Margin product in the traditional
distribution model.
Shipper /
Trucking Co

Independent
Agent

Wholesaler

Carrier

Reinsurance

Commodity Product at the Primary Layer. Motor Truck Cargo is


profitable with average premium $600 per power unit per year

One-time shipment/trip increased limits--$500 minimum


premium because of carriers processing cost.
Time-sensitivity and low profit margin for agent, wholesaler,
and carrier eventually results in policyholder dissatisfaction, not
better customer service or increased business

Excess Motor Truck Cargo Can be a


Highly-Profitable Product in Our Platform
Rather than distribute through independent retail agents,
have referrals through 3rd party logistics and shipment
companies.
Drive down the expense of processing by online
underwriting, automatic policy issuance, and removing
the conflict of interest between retail agent and risk
bearer.

New Distribution Model with Low Average Selling


Price
For us to have a systematic competitive advantage, we need to
profitably sell enough online excess cargo premium to be
significant to our partners
Mitigant

Underwriting Motor Truck Cargo insurance for more


than ten years so can branch out into exceptions for
higher premium. Furthermore, current volume of
existing business would allow for minimum first year
premium of $250,000.

Mitigant

Leverages time sensitivity of buyer, convenience


referral by 3PL customer, and 3-5 minute
turnaround time rather than competing in the
marketplace on price.
