By GlobalDataRainbow said it is redefining small business insurance with a focus on specific verticals where its data-driven and technological approach can provide an underwriting edge.
The company’s flagship offering is an admitted business owner’s policy product designed for the restaurant industry.
It is currently available in eight states and expected to expand to more than 25 states in 2024.
The restaurant insurance programme is distributed through independent insurance agents as well as digital partners.
Looking ahead, Rainbow aims to launch specialised programmes in additional business sectors.
Currently, Rainbow’s insurance solutions are available in Arizona, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, with plans to extend to 18 more states in early 2024.
Rainbow CEO and co-founder Bobby Touran said: “Restaurants are a massive category where every operator requires insurance, and it has proven to be a challenging class for many capacity providers.
“We felt that building deep domain expertise in the verticals we focus on would allow us to use technology to tailor our underwriting and prioritise loss ratio, all while maintaining the critically important customer-centric approach to small business.”
