Our Mission
By developing intimate customer relationships and delivering superior customer service, become the surplus lines market of choice for select W. R. Berkley Regional company independent agents.
Company Description
Formed in 2005, BRSIC provides access to the low-to-moderate hazard commercial surplus lines market for select agents of W. R. Berkley Corporation member companies, resulting in time and cost savings for its retail producers as well as their customers. This is principally accomplished by embedding underwriters within W.R. Berkley Regional company offices. Our current product line consists of commercial general liability (including liquor) which comprises approximately 80% of premiums written with commercial property and inland marine representing 20%. BRSIC’s unique business model and value proposition result in preferred account placement as well as reduced business acquisition costs.
Our Culture
How we interact with our customers, within our community and amongst ourselves will define the quality of our organization. We use the following guiding principles to focus on what is truly important:
Do the right thing. We are fair, honest, professional and always act with high integrity.
Achieve Profitable Growth. This is the only way to fuel our vision for the future.
Superior Customer Service. Focus on their needs, even if it makes our jobs more challenging. Everything counts!
Value Employees. Encourage each to develop to their fullest potential, support them in their career and personal growth, and treat everyone with respect. Everyone matters!
Foster Teamwork and Build Trust, while promoting individual accountability and rewarding achievement.
Open, Honest Communication. Our environment is inclusive, so employees, agents and their insureds are encouraged to present their ideas.
Commitment With a Sense of Urgency, in pursuit of our opportunities.
Those Who Care, Win. Encourage everyone to contribute to and to challenge the status quo. Most importantly, it's what is right, not who's right that is important.

We distribute our products through a limited number of specially selected independent retail agencies currently representing the W. R. Berkley Regional companies. Our national footprint covers 215 producer contracts in 43 states.
