Choosing an embedded insurance partner is an important decision, one that will impact both your business and your customers. So why should you make the decision to partner with Boost? Here are seven big reasons that set us apart. 

Why Boost Insurance?

1) We can get you to market in weeks, not years.

The reason we’re an insurance-as-a-service provider, not just an insurance broker, is that we provide you with a lot more than just insurance products. We’ve built the entire system you need to offer insurance, from ongoing compliance resources to licensed claims management to a sophisticated technological back-end.  This dramatically reduces the time and effort required to get your insurance offering to market.

Building an insurance business from the ground up is complex, expensive, and takes years to get to market. There are significant compliance, operational, technological, and capital components that are necessary to launch an insurance program, and keep it running successfully. When you partner with Boost to offer insurance, you can skip over all those steps and go straight to bringing a high-quality insurance offering to market. We’ve done the hard work, so you don’t have to.

2) We give you ownership of the customer, the data, and the brand.

There are several strong benefits to offering embedded insurance, like a significant, reliable stream of new recurring revenue, deeper relationships with your customer, and gaining valuable data to help sell them more products or services–but you can only experience the full benefits if your company owns the relationship and the data. 

With Boost Insurance, you’re white-labeling Boost’s products with your own brand and the entire insurance purchasing experience is integrated directly into your website or app. This gives you full control over your brand, customer experience, and data. At the end of the day, it’s your customer. You should be the one in control. 

3) We provide a modern, all-digital insurance experience, across the entire policy lifecycle.

We live in the digital age, where consumers expect a certain standard for purchasing experiences. Your customers want a fast, convenient, seamless purchase process, with products that fit their needs. Traditional insurers often can’t meet those expectations, but the Boost digital insurance platform makes it easy for your brand to deliver. 

With Boost Insurance, your customers can manage their entire policy lifecycle from your site or app. They can purchase insurance right at point of sale, choose their insurance coverage options, receive a quote, purchase their policy, and download their policy documents, all within minutes, and without leaving your digital property. If they want to make changes to their policy or handle tasks like renewals, they can manage that from your digital insurance experience as well. It’s convenient, simple, and makes it easy for them to buy more from you. 

4) We’re authorized by our carrier partners to manage the full policy lifecycle.

We’re able to provide a seamless experience throughout the policy lifecycle, and not just because we have a great insurance technology platform (though we have that too!). Legally, all insurance policies must be backed by a licensed carrier. That means that in order to complete each part of an insurance transaction, your embedded insurance partner will need to have a carrier’s permission to manage it on their behalf.

Not only is Boost a Managing General Agency (MGA), we’re also authorized by our carrier partners to handle all parts of the insurance transaction. We have the authority to underwrite, issue, rate, quote, bind, endorse, renew, update insurance policies, and manage the entire lifecycle of the policy. This means we can deliver your customers that seamless experience, with full legal compliance.

5) We build and own our insurance products, and we can create new ones.

Boost white-label insurance products are highly customizable, giving you unmatched flexibility to create the right packages and offers for your customers. How? Because we create them ourselves.

Boost’s products are built in-house by our team of insurance, compliance, and technology experts, and are designed for modular customization (which we’re able to do because we’re an MGA). This allows us to give you the ability to choose the right offering for your specific customer, including coverage packages, endorsements, price points, and more. Traditional insurance products usually don’t allow for much customization, so if a potential embedded insurance partner is simply offering you someone else’s product, you likely won’t be able to tailor it for your market.

Besides flexibility in our existing products, we also have the expertise and in-house team to be able to create new ones. We are always evaluating consumer needs and the insurance market to look for opportunities to create new insurance products that previously have not existed. One example is cryptocurrency insurance for retail wallet holders, which we launched in Q1 2022. Our crypto wallet insurance is the first insurance product of its kind, and Boost built it from the ground up.  

Creating new insurance products is usually a long, arduous process, with many compliance steps and significant buy-in required from carrier partners. Boost already has all these pieces in place, allowing us to keep on creating innovative, flexible products for you to offer your customers. 

We currently provide a suite of products for both personal lines (including crypto and pet health insurance), and commercial lines (including cybermanagement liability, and parental leave insurance), and the list is always growing.

6) We’re insurance experts (so you don’t have to be).

Insurance is complicated. If you’re new to the field, it can feel downright overwhelming. That’s why Boost’s team of experts is there to help you every step of the way.

We can help you navigate everything from licensing to policy management to marketing insurance, and everything in between. It may sound cliche, but when we say we’re your partner, we mean it. Launching your insurance offering is only the beginning, and we’re in this with you for the long haul.

7) Our policies are backed by top-rated global insurance organizations.

When you offer your customers insurance protection, you want to be certain that that protection is rock solid. With Boost, you can get peace of mind knowing our products are backed by some of the world’s leading financial organizations.

Our capital partners are A-rated by agencies like A.M. Best and Demotech, meaning they’re considered among the best for financial strength and ability to pay our customer claims, and they have balance sheets in the billions. And we’re not resting on our laurels - Boost is constantly growing our pool of partners, as well as our overall capacity. As your business grows, you can be confident we’ll be able to grow with you.

Paternity Leave: How Parental Leave Insurance Supports Equal Leave for Families
Mar 6, 2024
For many new parents in the U.S., getting the time off to care for their new child is fraught (and for some parents, simply not possible).  Unlike most other countries in the world, the U.S. has no national requirements for paid parental leave, and so parents are left to navigate a patchwork of options that can vary widely by location and employer. Out of the options above, short-term disability is the most widely available, and the most commonly used solution for paid parental leave. One big problem: in most cases, it’s not available to new dads. Excluding fathers from parental leave isn’t just unfair - it’s increasingly out of step with U.S. families. The average amount of time U.S. dads spend caring for their children has nearly tripled since 1965, and fathers now make up nearly 20% of stay-at-home parents Dads’ expanded role as caregiver is reflected in changing social attitudes as well. In a 2023 survey over three-quarters of Americans agreed with the statement that children are better off when both their mother and their father are equally focused on work and childrearing. Research has also shown a link between taking paternity leave and long-term financial benefit for the family. So, how can businesses support their employees who become fathers, without breaking the bank? Parental leave insurance is designed to make it affordable for SMBs to offer paid parental leave to their employees.  Parental leave insurance is a commercial insurance program; like other types of commercial insurance, the SMB gains coverage by purchasing a policy. The SMB can choose the level of benefit they want to offer their employees, including things like length of leave and percentage of salary covered, and then pay a regular premium based on the selected benefits and the demographics of their employees.  When a covered employee takes parental leave, the SMB can file a claim through their parental leave policy to be reimbursed for the cost of paying the employee during the covered leave period, as specified in the company’s parental leave policy.  Parental leave insurance is a much more inclusive option than STD. Boost’s product, for example, will cover paid leave for any new parent, regardless of whether they are actually giving birth. This includes not just fathers, but also foster and adoptive parents (who are generally also ineligible for STD).  With parental leave insurance, SMBs can offer equal maternity and paternity leave benefits. Not only does this acknowledge and support the role of new fathers in caring for their children, it also empowers families to choose leave that is right for them, instead of making the best of whatever they can cobble together. A parental leave insurance policy benefits the business as well as the employees: Lower expenses. Funding a paid parental leave program requires a business to try to forecast how many employees might take leave in a given year, set aside money to cover those potential costs, and sometimes pay an extra temporary employee to fill in while the parent is out. Buying parental leave insurance means much lower costs overall to providing this benefit.  Predictable costs. One of the more challenging aspects of self-funding parental leave is the uncertainty: it’s impossible to actually know how many employees will become parents in a given timeframe. This means costs can vary wildly from year to year. With parental leave insurance, these unknown expenses are replaced by a regular, predictable premium payment, making it much easier for the SMB to budget around it. Talent attraction and retention. Highly valuable employees are often in hot demand, with many companies competing to hire them. As we’ve seen, paid parental leave is a very desirable benefit, and offering it can help an SMB differentiate themselves as a great place to work. It also helps retain top employees if they become parents. In a recent McKinsey survey of fathers, many reported that “they felt more motivated after taking leave and that they were considering staying in their organization longer.” For insurtechs and other businesses that work with SMBs, offering parental leave insurance provides your customer with an affordable path to supporting (and retaining) their employees who become parents, regardless of gender.  Interested in adding parental leave insurance to your offerings?

Build, Buy, or Boost: A Cost Breakdown for Insurance Infrastructure
Feb 28, 2024
A big reason that businesses choose Boost is that we can help them launch scalable, profitable insurance programs much more quickly and cost-effectively than the alternatives. In this blog, we’ll explore the time and cost requirements for using Boost to develop a new program vs traditional build or buy, and how Boost is able to offer a better option. We’ll break it down by the three main components you need for a new program: the MGA infrastructure to support it, the new product itself, and the distribution technology to sell it online. The first step to developing a new insurance program? Being legally permitted to do so. And if you want to create your own product versus just selling someone else’s, your company needs to be an MGA. In this section, we’ll look at the cost and requirements for building a new MGA. There are two big requirements for building your own MGA: hiring the right people, and securing the right partnerships. On the hiring side, you’ll need to build an organization to run a full-stack insurance business. This includes everyone from underwriters to claims administrators to compliance managers to regulatory experts. As you might imagine, this is a significant, ongoing resource commitment, particularly for positions requiring experienced senior employees. On the partnership side, you’ll need to build relationships with reinsurers and other risk capital providers, and with fronting carriers who will allow you to write on their paper. This can be difficult, especially without existing connections. Total estimated cost: $5 million Total estimated time: 2 years When creating an MGA, there’s actually not much difference between building and buying.  You can contract with qualified professionals instead of hiring directly (like using a licensed third-party agency for handling claims instead of building an internal claims team), and work with consultants that specialize in other MGA requirements, but you’ll still need to do a lot of the same things that we saw in the build section. The most important and challenging pieces, like the reinsurance and fronting carrier partnerships, can’t be bought. Total estimated cost: $5 million Total estimated time: 2 years Boost has already invested the time and money in building a robust MGA infrastructure to support our customers’ insurance programs, including:  When you work with us, you can leverage our already-existing infrastructure to get what you need to support your insurance programs right away, for an annual platform fee.  Total estimated cost: $150,000 annually Total estimated time: Immediately available The core of a new insurance program is the product itself: the coverages you’re going to offer, the risk capital to back them up, and the administration to support its operations. In this section, we’ll look at what it takes to create a brand new insurance product from scratch. If you choose to build your product from scratch in-house, you’ll need to hire experienced people to do everything mentioned above, including: Additionally, you’ll need to secure capacity for your product. This is often harder than it sounds, especially if you don’t already have relationships in place with risk capital providers. Particularly in the current economic environment, convincing reinsurers to commit financial resources to insuring a new, unproven risk can be a long, difficult journey.  Total estimated cost: $8 million to set up, with $2 million annually to maintain Total estimated time: 5-6 years If you go the “buy” route for developing your new product, you’ll need to contract out to a number of partners to get what you need, including: Each partner will deliver their piece of the puzzle, but it will be up to you to assemble the pieces and ensure everything happens as it’s supposed to. You’ll need to invest resources in project-managing a complex multi-year, multi-partner project. Additionally, some partners’ contracts may include ongoing fees, or a certain percentage of the product’s GWP. Total estimated cost: $5.8 million + 1% of GWP Total estimated time: 3-4 years If you choose to partner with Boost to create your product, you’ve already streamlined the process considerably. Boost can provide everything you need to build and launch your new insurance program under one roof (in fact, we’re currently the only partner that can).  Boost’s in-house team of insurance experts will work with you on market research and scoping for your opportunity, then develop a product sketch for how to address it. Once you and Boost have agreed on what the new product should look like, our team will get to work developing the forms, guidelines, and other program documentation. They’ll also help you design the program’s operations and claims workflows. When the product is ready, Boost will submit it to our panel of reinsurance and fronting carrier partners. Once we’ve secured paper and capacity for your product, our compliance specialists will start the filing process with the states that you intend to sell in. Total estimated cost: $400K Total estimated time: 4-7 months Modern buyers expect convenient, all-digital purchase experiences, and delivering those experiences requires a policy administration system (PAS) with the right capabilities. In this section, we’ll look at options for acquiring a PAS that can support end-to-end digital workflows. A PAS is a very complex piece of software, in no small part because of varying insurance regulations between each state. To function smoothly, your PAS will need to automatically identify and follow all applicable laws for the state a policy is sold in. This includes areas such as:  The time and difficulty of building a PAS also increases with each additional insurance line that it must support. If you build in-house, you’ll also need to plan for regular updates and maintenance to the software, and ensure your organization has the necessary resourcing in place. Total estimated cost: $2 million annually Total estimated time: 1-2 years If you opt to buy the technology you need, the cost will vary by PAS vendor pricing, and also by the amount of development work necessary to customize an off-the-shelf PAS to support your product and workflow needs. Traditional vendors often charge per-year service costs for your PAS buildout and subsequent maintenance. Newer vendors tend to forgo the large fixed annual rates, and instead collect a relatively low baseline platform fee along with a percentage of your gross written premium. In many cases, however, you’ll also need to separately arrange and pay for the custom dev work to configure your PAS for your products. Total estimated cost: $250k + 1% of GWP Total estimated time: 6 months to customize/implement Boost’s state-of-the-art PAS is at the heart of our platform, and is pre-configured to support all Boost products. The annual $150,000 Boost platform fee includes access to the PAS - just integrate with your front-end via API, and you’re ready to get started selling your Boost-powered insurance product.  The Boost API was built from the ground up to be easy for developers to build to and implement, reducing deployment times vs. complex legacy software. This includes a design that leverages RESTful patterns, comprehensive API documentation, and permanent access to a dedicated testing environment, at no additional fee. Total estimated cost: Included in the platform fee Total estimated time: 4 weeks deployment Considering if a new insurance program is the right move for your business?

3 Reasons Cybersecurity Firms Should Offer Cyber Insurance
May 19, 2023
Cyber threats are on the rise, and businesses of all sizes and industries are at risk of significant financial losses and reputational damage in the event of a cyber attack. While SMBs are regularly targeted by cyber criminals, however, it can be difficult for them to secure cyber insurance coverage that meets their needs.  For cybersecurity firms that serve SMBs, this is a great opportunity to expand your business by offering cyber insurance. In this blog post, we break down 3 compelling reasons why cybersecurity firms should offer cyber insurance to their clients. Cybercrime is rising across the board. In 2021 the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center received 845,000+ complaints, with total losses that exceeded $6.9 billion. 2022 had the second-highest number of data compromises in the U.S. in a single year, and the total cost of cybercrime is predicted to hit $8 trillion by the end of 2023 (then grow to $10.5 trillion by 2025) As frequency has grown, so has the cost to individual businesses. The average cost of a data breach for businesses in the United States reached a staggering $9.44 million in 2022. These kinds of unexpected costs would be taxing for even a large, highly profitable enterprise, but they can be devastating for small to medium businesses. Some never recover.  Your customers need a way to safeguard their operations from the harmful consequences of a cyber incident, and cyber insurance can help.   Cyber insurance protects individuals and businesses from digital risks such as data breaches,  phishing attacks, and other types of cybercrime. It usually provides financial coverage for expenses related to recovering from a cyber attack, such as legal fees, data recovery, customer notifications, and reputation management. It offers a safety net that allows your customers to mitigate the financial burden and operational disruptions caused by cyber incidents and provide some relief while they recover and rebuild.  With the increasing frequency and complexity of cyber threats, cyber insurance has become an essential component of any comprehensive risk management strategy for all businesses. This creates an opportunity for you to offer your customers a solution.  With approximately 33 million SMBs in the United States alone, this segment represents a significant portion of the business landscape. The insurance industry as a whole is also quite substantial, with P&C premiums totaling over $710 billion in 2021. Providing comprehensive cyber insurance lets you tap into this market, and creates the opportunity to generate significant revenue streams while filling a critical gap and meeting SMBs’ legitimate needs for cyber insurance protection.  Cybersecurity firms are already at an advantage in the market. Because cyber insurance is so aligned with your core business, you’ll be selling to your existing customers. Younger buyers in particular have reported that they prefer to buy financial products like insurance from brands they already know and trust, rather than a traditional provider. Since you already have a relationship with your customers around protecting them from cyber threats, buying their cyber insurance from you is a natural choice.  Expanding your business and adding new products can be a significant (and expensive) undertaking. But an important aspect to remember with cyber insurance is that you won’t be marketing to new customers. Instead, you would be selling to the same audience with whom you’ve already invested time, effort, and money. Not only does this streamline your sales and marketing processes, but it also allows you to generate additional revenue without incurring new customer acquisition costs. By weaving cyber insurance into your current marketing efforts, you can seamlessly expand your service offerings and build additional revenue per client.  Providing insurance to your existing clients can also help boost your customer retention. Insurance is a very “sticky” product with an average 84% customer retention rate. The additional touchpoints can help keep your brand top of mind, and the valuable protection your customers buy from you is another differentiation point against the competition.   By strategically integrating insurance into your product lineup, you can boost your revenue, strengthen customer loyalty, and further position yourself as a trusted partner for all their cybersecurity needs.  If you offer cybersecurity services to small to medium businesses and want to learn more about how you can grow your revenue by offering cyber insurance, learn more in our free ebook
