WC Hot List!
Targeted Classes

If Any Policies

GUARD’s sweet spot is smaller premiums (generally under $50,000) from low-hazard, main-street type classes. Quick wins are heavily weighted toward less than 15 employees and $2.5 million in annual payroll. New ventures, lapses in coverage, and debit mods will be considered.​
