This partnership will help remove bottlenecks in traditional E&S workflows by enabling same-day activation and binding coverage for hard-to-place risks across a range of industries and project types. Blitz insurance products are issued on “A-” (Excellent),  XV rated insurance paper, reflecting strong financial backing and claims-paying ability. 

Widely regarded as a leading Managing General Underwriting (MGU), Blitz offers complete visibility into the E&S sales process by leveraging modern technology with real-time data. From protecting builders' risk to auto services, to commercial lessors’ risk and more, their dynamic, risk-specific quote application process allows agents to bind policies in minutes, not days, and reduces the time and administrative hurdles found in other quote-and-bind workflows. 

Blitz joins the growing list of E&S carriers available in the Bold Penguin Terminal, enabling their agents to find the right coverage for their commercial customers in both the admitted and non-admitted markets. “There has been unprecedented demand for non-admitted solutions as agents and small businesses navigate increasingly complex risks,” said Nicole Farley, Senior Vice President and Chief Insurance Officer at Bold Penguin. “Partnering with Blitz is a natural extension of our strategy to expand market access and improve placement outcomes. Their commitment to solving hard-to-place risks, combined with a streamlined quote-and-bind experience, aligns directly with our vision to modernize and scale the E&S market. This is a clear win for carriers, agents, and the small businesses they serve.”
