That means we can place the hard stuff: tree service, coastal property, high-mod contractors, trucking with CSA issues, restaurants with recent losses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What states does Bettr Coverage cover besides Georgia?
We're licensed in Georgia (resident state), Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee. If your business operates in multiple Southeast states, we can write each state on the appropriate carrier and coordinate coverage across all locations.
How do Georgia workers comp rates compare to other Southeast states?
Georgia WC required at 3+ employees under O.C.G.A. §34-9-2. Private-market state; NCCI rates. WC class 5645 (framing) ~$7.85/$100 payroll. GL 91580 (office) ~$0.25/$100 revenue. Georgia WC is overseen by NCCI in most cases. Exact rates depend on your class code mix and experience mod.
Can you write risks that standard Georgia carriers declined?
Yes — that's the core of what we do. Our 6 excess & surplus lines wholesalers (Amwins, Jencap, RT Specialty, Johnston & Johnston, Wholesure, XS Brokers) write Georgia risks that standard admitted markets won't touch. See our hard-to-place risks guide.
How long does it take to get Georgia coverage bound?
Typical timeline: 48 hours to submission-ready after we receive your current dec pages, 3–5 business days for carrier quotes back, same-day binding once you select. Rush binds possible on straightforward risks if needed for a contract deadline.
Do you handle multi-state accounts headquartered in Georgia?
Yes. We write the home state on one carrier and add out-of-state endorsements or separate state policies as required. Workers comp is state-specific; GL and auto usually follow the business nationally with correct endorsements.
