Coterie is an insurtech company that integrates insurance into tools that a business already uses to make it easy to get insured. The company boasts partners such as Quickbooks and Briza that help it reach more consumers that need simple insurance solutions.
Coterie was founded in 2018 and has headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio. It’s a small company with just seven employee profiles, relying heavily on technology to drive insurance placement. This technology helps get hassle-free, accurate coverage because of data-driven automation. Insurance products are written by either Spinnaker Insurance Company or Benchmark Insurance Company.
Coterie is able to underwrite policies in 46 states. It will soon have insurance products for New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.

Insurance companies typically have what is referred to as an appetite for certain industries. This appetite means that the insurance carrier is comfortable with the risks of the industry and seeks out policies to underwrite – often at better rates than competitors who don’t have an appetite for the industry.
Coterie Insurance has a broad appetite for business that includes:
It takes just seconds to search through the industry list to find your industry.
Coterie doesn’t advertise its rates or any specific discounts that it offers. However, we ran a baseline policy and received a ballpark quote for $25 per month for a business owners policy. That would translate to $300 per year which is a good baseline rate for this type of insurance.
The Coterie Insurance experience is like having a conversation with an agent. The system asks simple questions about your company and guides you through what is necessary to get a quote. As you go through the process, you can see how certain insurance choices, such as a deductible, affect your rate. It takes just minutes to complete and you can bind coverage at the end.

Coterie Insurance is a good option for business owners looking for a fast, self-serve way to get insurance. The platform uses technology in a way to get more small business owners applying for insurance in a quick, easy-to-use manner. Coterie plans on adding workers’ compensation to the mix of products in the near future.
