Markel Corporation and Next Insurance Partner to Insure Commercial Small Businesses
Next Insurance is excited today to announce its successful partnership with Markel Corporation, a leading global insurance organization specializing in small commercial insurance products. Next Insurance is the leading online platform for tailored commercial small business insurance in the United States. This partnership has developed the most relevant coverage for personal trainers pairing Markel’s insurance expertise and capital with Next Insurance’s understanding of personal trainer business needs. Personal trainers can buy insurance policies online directly through Next Insurance in minutes.
“We believe providing more specific and focused insurance offerings to small business owners – like personal trainers – through Next Insurance will advance our overall industry,” said Trent M. Cooksley, Head of Open Innovation at Markel Corporation. “This is our first partnership product with Next and we are excited about Next’s expertise and encouraged by the significant growth we’ve seen since our launch together.”
Next Insurance has also started working with NESTA, a professional fitness association. Partnerships with training associations will enable trainers, sports coaches, lifestyle consultants and wellness professionals to enroll in comprehensive insurance as soon as they complete certification courses and start offering their services.”We have seen our personal trainer insurance sales grow by double-digits every month, and expect to see this growth expand with the support of Markel and our collaborations with associations like NESTA,” said Guy Goldstein, CEO and co-founder of Next Insurance. “We are excited to see how our other small business insurance offerings are adopted after the incredible feedback we’ve gotten from personal trainers.”Personal trainers can buy insurance online with Next Insurance and pay on a monthly basis. Personal trainer insurance is offered anywhere in the continental US, plus Alaska. Next Insurance now provides insurance packages for personal trainers, photographers, construction workers – such as electricians, plumbers, and others – online. Each insurance offering is tailored based on deep understanding of the specific industry as well as discussion with small business owners directly, so that usual exceptions or limitations are covered as well.
