Programs & Coverages

Restaurants, Bars, and Taverns

Quality Coverage for Spirited Businesses
Running a hospitality business – especially if you serve alcohol – comes with a healthy serving of risk. Patrons exchanging fighting words and more (that may catch bystanders in the middle), errant spills causing slips and falls, equipment failure making messes and spoiling food, or any of the dozens of things that can happen between a stool and the parking lot leave you with a lot of risks to worry about. At NFP, we understand the worries that you face, and we’re right there with you in the office, the kitchen, behind the bar and out on the floor —literally. Our independent loss control experts show up to evaluate everything from safety features to compliance with industry best practices, offering easy-to-implement tips and checklists to help you keep insurance costs down and calamities off your closing checklist. Our Restaurants, Bars and Taverns specialty program underwrites insurance coverage, processes the intake of claims, and helps you control losses and minimize risk across:

  • Restaurants 
  • Bars, pubs and taverns 
  • Sports bars 
  • Brewpubs 
  • Casinos 

Quick, Clean and Convenient Claims 
We process claims efficiently and promptly so you can get back to keeping your customers happy and coming back without any hassles. Our proprietary, cutting-edge, automated systems capture and store all the necessary data from your photos, promptly gathered statements, supporting documents and records, and we’ll handle the rest — keeping you up to date on what happens next. Together we can get your business running better than ever before. Let’s work on the perfect plan that’ll be the secret ingredient to your success.

Surety

It’s All About Building Relationships 
The surety business is a people business. Our strong relationships with the right surety carriers are how we help you get exactly what you need. Carriers trust us to make underwriting decisions without going back and forth with them. As a result, you get your answer more quickly — and can get back to your project faster. 

We also believe in building real relationships with our customers, and work to get to know you so we can not only write a bond, but be there for you for the long term. For us, there’s no job that’s too big or too small. Although we work directly with some of the most successful contractors in the country, we also help harder-to-place bond clients who need a little extra assistance. Even contractors with not-so-stellar credit who have working capital have options here.

We’ll Hammer Out the Details the First Time
While we can’t change the rules of underwriting, we can help make life a little easier for you by getting everything we need the first time we connect. Not only does that prevent those “Oh, by the way…” calls for more information that interrupt your day, but it also eliminates unnecessary delays in getting your bonds written. 

Just as important, you’ll have a full understanding of what happens next and how long it should take to get an answer on your bond. If you’re a bond veteran, we’ll get you moving as quickly as possible.

Agents: Need a Surety Market? 

NFP is an agency specializing in helping brokers with their bond needs — hard to place, high risk, standard and preferred. We provide bid, payment and performance bonds and write in every state.

Types of bonds:

Financial Institutions

Equity Protection Program 
The Equity Protection Program (EPP) offered through NFP provides lenders the ability to mitigate the risks associated with expanding equity loan portfolio parameters through a fully insured program. By insuring loans with augmented loan-to-value thresholds, debt-to-income ratios and credit score ranges, you can expand equity loan offerings without taking on additional risk. In the event of default, the full balance of the covered loan will be payable — without incurring expensive foreclosure, charge-off or REO charges. 

Program benefits include these valuable features: 

  • Protects lender against borrower default for any reason
  • No foreclosure required when filing a claim
  • Increases revenue 15% – 20%
  • Reduces or eliminates REO expenses for lender
  • Delegated loan underwriting authority with capacity to submit for additional review
  • Customized rate structure allowing for single rate for all loan types or alternative structures
  • Slight increase in APR covers cost of risk transfer with no direct cost to the lender
  • Eliminates/reduces loan loss reserve requirements and protects balance sheet
  • Underwritten by A.M. Best A-rated carriers

Equity Protection That Works For You 
We understand your needs and we’re there for you throughout the entire process. Our underwriters work closely with prospective lenders and agents to structure each EPP to ensure that it provides effective parameters for the financial institution to generate covered loans. Once the program guidelines are determined, our team offers training and assistance throughout the implementation process — from premium and reporting to loan origination and claim filing. 

Stuff happens. If a covered loan defaults and becomes uncollectable, 100% of the loan balance is paid at default. No foreclosure or charge-off is required and a claim may be filed within approximately 90 days of delinquency. Claims are typically paid within 30 days of submitting documentation. 

Eligible loan types include: 

  • Home equity lines of credit (HELOC)
  • Purchase — money seconds (combo, piggyback subordinate financing for 1st)
  • Home improvement loans (secured & unsecured)
  • Closed-end seconds

Tailored Premiums 
Pricing is customized and quoted once an application is submitted, and is based on lender loss history, loan types to be included and the expected volume of covered loans. The applicable rate is payable monthly and is based on the total outstanding balance of insured loans.

Auto Services

GIVE YOUR PROFITS A TUNE-UP
At NFP, we know that sometimes selling a vehicle service contract (VSC) can get tough — especially if there’s a blind spot making your current offering incomplete when it comes to higher mileage used vehicles. 

We have over 30 years’ experience in the automotive space — building plans and programs that address not only the needs of the dealership and its employees but, most importantly, the needs of the dealer principal. In that time, we’ve learned from our partners and clients that the people least likely to be able to pay for mechanical repairs are those buying used vehicles with higher mileage. We built our high mileage VSC program, Power, to eliminate that blind spot and protect your customer’s investment. 

Boost Your High-Mileage VSC Sales 
Not being able to sell vehicles because of less than ideal VSC availability can eat into a dealer’s profits. That’s why we offer two levels of coverage with our high-mileage VSC program, Power. Power SecureCare offers exclusionary coverage for vehicles with up to 125,000 miles at the time of sale. And for your inventory with more than 125,000 miles, Power PremierCare offers powertrain or powertrain plus electrical and AC components coverage available for vehicles with up to 200,000 miles at the time of sale. 

The Key Benefits of Power

  • Power will not diminish the sales of your core service contract program
  • Increase your VSC Penetration by up to 30% on vehicles with over 70,000 miles
  • Power provides quality coverage at an affordable price to protect your customer and fit the deal
  • Built with a default $100 Disappearing Deductible to increase your Service Department Retention

Products and Services
In addition to our exclusive Power VSC, we also provide the following products and services:
Products

  • Vehicle service contracts
  • Limited warranties
  • Guaranteed asset protection (GAP)
  • Prepaid maintenance
