*Cannot be licensed for these kinds of insurance unless company is licensed to write at least one line in Group A-Basic

** It should be noted that these are minimum requirements. A higher amount of surplus may be required based upon a review of the Company’s Plan of Operations and Financial Projections. Generally a deposit of at least $500,000 is required.

Note 1: Property & Casualty Companies seeking to reinsure lines in addition to those lines they can write directly; or to write or reinsure risks outside the United States, its territories and possessions are required to have Surplus to Policyholders of $35,000,000 and a deposit of at least $3,000,000.

Note 2: It is recommended that the company include a cushion (i. e. 20%) in its deposit to allow for fluctuations in the market value of the securities in order to minimize the chances of the market value falling below the required amount.
