The problem we solve

Traditional insurance ends at the policy. CID starts there.

Most agencies operate the same four-step way. CID was built to change that entirely.

Traditional agency

Quote. Sell. Email PDFs. Disappear.

  • Policies buried in email chains nobody can find
  • COIs require phone calls and days of waiting
  • Coverage questions go unanswered until it is too late
  • Claims feel disconnected from the original relationship
  • Renewal is a surprise, not a conversation
  • No record. No continuity. No service layer.
CID Connect

Policy. Service. Answers. All in one place.

  • Policy vault visible the moment you open the app
  • COIs requested and tracked from your phone in minutes
  • Ask “Am I covered?” before the job — plain English answer
  • Claims initiated immediately with photos, from anywhere
  • Renewal visible at 60 days — no surprises
  • One account. From quote to renewal. Always there.
Why CID Connect

Built for the relationship after you are covered.

Am I Covered?

Ask before it’s a claim.

Coverage questions built for your trade — answered in plain English from your actual policy. The real scenarios your business faces.

  • Bars: liquor liability, assault, events
  • Roofers: torch work, post-install leaks, falls
  • Plumbers: water damage, gas line, mold
  • HVAC: refrigerant, electrical, CO exposure

About CID

Commercial insurance, modernized.

Commercial Insurance Direct brings trade-specific commercial insurance and a modern insured experience together in one place.

Quote, get covered, request certificates, ask coverage questions, and manage your policy from CID Connect — built for bars, roofers, plumbers, HVAC, fitness, and the commercial businesses we serve next.

What we’re building toward

Our goal isn’t to be another insurance website. It’s to be the service layer commercial insureds actually use — the place they go for certificates, coverage answers, policy history, and renewals long after coverage starts.

We’re building CID so the full lifecycle lives in one system: from first quote through getting covered, document delivery, ongoing service, and renewal. No restarting in email every time a landlord, GC, or bank asks for proof.

CID is commercial insurance, modernized for businesses that don’t have time to wait.

🏗

Trade-specific, not generic

Every segment gets its own intake, coverage scenarios, and COI workflow — built for how that trade actually operates.

🔗

Full lifecycle, one system

Quote through renewal in one place. No restarting in email every time a landlord or GC asks for proof.

📊

Built to grow

The same infrastructure that powers Bar Insurance Direct today scales to dozens of commercial verticals without rebuilding anything.

Platform value

What makes this different to build on.

The infrastructure underneath Connect compounds in value as segments and policyholders scale.

🏗

Segment-native architecture

Each vertical gets trade-specific intake, underwriting logic, and coverage scenarios — not a generic form with a different logo.

🔄

RSS engine

Reliable. Scalable. Sellable. Universal intake, ACORD automation, carrier mapping, and segment replication from one infrastructure.

📊

Post-bind data layer

Every COI request, coverage question, and claim interaction creates structured engagement data traditional agencies never see.

🔒

Switching friction

Certificate holder books, policy timelines, and claim history embedded in the customer’s workflow — not a PDF in a drawer.

🚀

Unlimited scalability

RSS architecture expands across dozens of commercial verticals from one infrastructure — hospitality, healthcare, transportation, and beyond.

💡

Platform valuation

Agencies are valued on revenue and book size. Platforms are valued on engagement, automation, retention, and embedded workflows.
