How the coverage connects to the operation
Office-based businesses may have limited premises hazards but meaningful professional, cyber, property, and employment exposures. The submission should explain the services delivered, client contracts, data handled, staffing, and any work performed away from the office.
For this coverage conversation, describe what the business does, where it works, who performs the work, what property or vehicles are involved, and which contracts or customers create insurance requirements. Those facts are more useful than relying on a business title alone.
Delaware context
Coastal wind and flood exposure, compact service territories, seasonal tourism, and interstate commerce can be important parts of a Delaware business review.
Geography and state oversight are part of the review, but they do not replace account-specific underwriting. Policy forms and availability can differ by insurer and state.

- What services, advice, and deliverables are provided?
- What client data, payment information, or confidential records are handled?

Details to prepare
