FAQ

Frequently asked questions

My business operates in three countries — can RMO cover all locations?

RMO BizProperty is US-focused. Multi-country property programs are better placed with global carriers like AIG. RMO can write the US locations while AIG or another global carrier coordinates internationally.

My building is worth $30M — is RMO a fit?

Very high-value buildings typically fit better with carriers specializing in high-value-property risk engineering. Talk to RMO BizProperty specialist about your specific situation; for some risks we may write primary with excess elsewhere.

Do you cover manufacturing or energy property?

Specialty industrial classes fit some RMO appetite. Submit specific industry and operations for honest fit assessment. Highly specialized industries may fit AIG or similar specialty carriers better.

How does claim handling compare?

Both have mature claim operations. For very large losses, AIG’s enterprise claim resources and engineering depth can be advantageous. For SMB losses, direct RMO member services is typically faster.

Is broker placement required for AIG?

AIG is typically placed through brokers. RMO BizProperty is direct-to-member. Both paths are valid; pick based on whether you want broker advice or direct member servicing.
