EIURS
It all began in 2012 with four friends sitting around a barroom table asking a simple question, “What if?” Tired of the bureaucracy which plagues carriers, and the silos created preventing any horizontal growth, they dared to ask, “What if we started our own MGU?”
They imagined and dreamed of having the ability to offer the products and services they desired. To grow their business in a manner that allowed for vertical and horizontal growth, positioning themselves as the market leader. Their goal was to change the current paradigm of how commercial insurance was offered, transacted, and written. That entrepreneurial spirit is the foundation of EIURS. In time they grew and partnered with the best carrier partners. While growth has been steady, EIURS has never lost their culture of hard work, independence, and respect. See more about EIURS’ growth story here.
EIURS has never backed down from a challenge, and is here to help you do more in every interaction.
EIURS is a member of the DUAL North America, Inc. group of companies. DUAL North America is one of the largest independent underwriting organizations in the United States and is dedicated to providing underwriting excellence to broker and carrier partners. With 25+ programs across Casualty, Commercial Property, Financial, and Personal Property products underwritten through several specialized subsidiaries, DUAL offers one of the most diverse selections of specialty insurance products.
