Markel Corporation: Retail Stores Insurance Appetite
Markel is the go-to E&S option for non-standard retail risks. If a retail store has been declined by admitted carriers due to product type, loss history, or unusual operations, Markel can likely find a solution. For clean, standard retail, use a BOP carrier first.
