SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

PLM writes business on an “Open Brokerage” basis. Below are some submission requirements and guidelines to follow. This will allow us to give you the most competitive quote possible in a timely fashion.

• Submissions should be submitted on standard Acord™ applications. The more complete the information is, the more customized and competitive your quote will be.
