Announcement to Agents

A message from Mike Ferber

I have important information to share regarding Victor Small Business. After careful consideration, Victor has made the difficult decision to close Victor Small Business and the Victor for Agents quoting platform at the end of the year. All existing policies bound through Victor Small Business are affected by this closure.

Note: Policies and business bound with Victor Specialty and ICAT will not be affected.

This change reflects Victor’s strategic focus to grow our core specialty programs, our wholesale business, and developing innovative middle market solutions to better meet the evolving needs of you and your clients in these segments.

Taking care of our existing Victor Small Business agency partners is a top priority. To ensure a seamless transition, we are transitioning the bulk of our current book of small business to BTIS, a leading MGA and one of our existing providers. In addition, a few of our programs and lines of business will continue to be managed through Victor.

Please review the details below for additional information.

Existing policies

Servicing of existing policies will continue to be managed by Victor until the renewal date. If you have any questions, please contact the Victor Service Team at victorforagents@victorinsurance.com or (833) 423-0746.
