Frequently Asked Questions

Everything agents need to know about working with NeitClem.

A wholesale insurance brokerage acts as the intermediary between retail agents and specialty insurance carriers. NeitClem provides retail agents access to excess & surplus (E&S) lines markets — covering hard-to-place, high-risk, or non-standard accounts that admitted carriers typically decline. We handle the carrier negotiations and placement so agents can focus on serving their clients.

We work exclusively with licensed retail insurance agents and brokers. If you hold a valid California insurance license, you are eligible to submit risks directly to our brokerage team for quoting and placement. We do not transact directly with the insured public.

Use NeitClem's proprietary online application platform to submit your risk in minutes — no downloads, no email attachments, instant confirmation. Simply select the coverage type, complete the form, and a real broker will review your submission and respond promptly. For assistance choosing the right application or for urgent placements, call our brokerage team directly at (323) 258-2600.

We specialize in excess & surplus (E&S) lines across four core areas:

  • Casualty — Commercial General Liability, OCP, wrap-ups, excess & umbrella
  • Professional Liability — E&O, medical malpractice, EPLI, D&O, fiduciary liability
  • Property & Inland Marine — builder's risk, cargo, vacant property, jeweler's block, crime
  • Specialty Markets — cannabis, bars & restaurants, wellness centers, environmental, garage liability

We maintain relationships with a broad panel of A-rated admitted and non-admitted carriers, giving us the flexibility to find competitive solutions across a wide range of risk classes — including those declined by standard markets. Our long-standing carrier relationships, built over 30+ years, allow us to negotiate favorable terms on behalf of our agents.

Turnaround time depends on risk complexity and carrier availability. For standard submissions with complete information, agents can typically expect a response within 1–3 business days. Complex or high-value risks may take longer. Providing complete, accurate application data is the single biggest factor in faster turnaround.
