## Why this matters to the submission

A marketable submission lets an underwriter understand the legal entities, operations, physical exposures, requested coverage, and open questions without reconstructing the account from unrelated documents.

## Questions to put on the record

- Connect named insureds, ownership, locations, licenses, and requested coverage.

- Explain how the business makes, moves, stores, or sells products in plain language.

- Separate known facts, missing records, timing, and the decision the insured needs to make.

## Records that support the account story

- A schedule connecting named insureds, ownership, licenses, operations, and locations

- Current applications, exposure schedules, loss information, and requested coverage

- A short operation narrative that identifies missing records and the decision needed

## What this guide can help with

This guide helps organize the account discussion. It does not confirm eligibility, available markets, coverage, pricing, licensing, or an outcome for a specific account.

Important insurance and legal information
CARMA's website provides general information only. It is not insurance, legal, tax, regulatory, underwriting, safety, risk-management, or claims advice. Nothing on this site is a quote, binder, policy, coverage determination, legal opinion, or promise of eligibility, availability, pricing, terms, limits, or placement.

Only an issued policy and its endorsements can provide coverage, and their actual terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions control. Sending information, following a link, or speaking with CARMA does not bind coverage, change a policy, or create authority to act for an insurer unless an authorized party confirms that authority in writing.

Do not rely on this website to report a claim, request a policy change, satisfy a notice requirement, or meet a deadline. Use the instructions in the applicable policy or written communication. Laws, licensing, appetite, carrier participation, and external sources can change, so confirm time-sensitive matters with CARMA, the controlling source, and qualified advisers.
