Submission Group

A Submission Group is a set of applications sent to one or more companies. Use Submission Group to market both personal and commercial, new or renewal business. The submission process assists you in determining a company’s willingness to provide coverage, and the cost associated in providing the requested insurance.

Submission Groups are identified by a reference number that you can assign. You can track the submission and enter company responses as coverage is quoted or declined. However, you cannot perform any billing or accounting for a submission, and applications are the only forms available for Submissions.

You can convert a submission to a new or a renewed policy after you've placed the coverage with an insurance company.
