Carrier appetite summary
Verified official website and producer-facing appointment page, but no public underwriting appetite guide, risk appetite bulletin, or submit-business class guide was located on the official site. Publicly available producer information indicates Clearside operates through producer appointment forms and state-specific agreements/applications rather than a posted class-by-class appetite guide. Clearside describes itself as offering personal and commercial lines products, and the carrier context plus available forms support Commercial Auto activity, including financial responsibility/SR-22 servicing documents. Producer-facing instructions require agencies to download appointment forms and submit them by fax to (909) 243-7560 or email to marketing@clearsidegeneral.com. Available producer agreement language states producers do not have authority to bind risks unless separate written binding authority is granted; producers may only solicit, receive, and submit applications subject to Clearside underwriting guidelines and written instructions. The agreement also notes Clearside may refuse any policy, requires compliance with underwriting/rate/rule/procedure guidance provided to producers, restricts use of Clearside advertising without prior written approval, and allows review of producer books/records related to business placed through Clearside. Geographic notes: public producer materials are available for California, Arizona, and Texas, with separate mailing references also shown for policy prefixes tied to California, Arizona, and Texas business; this suggests a multi-state footprint, but no official public state availability matrix or public list of preferred/restricted territories was found. Preferred business, restricted classes, and declined risks: no verified public class appetite or decline list was posted on the official site, so these items could not be confirmed from public official sources. Submission requirements that can be confirmed publicly are producer appointment/application completion, submission of forms to marketing, and retail-agent submission only under Clearside underwriting rules. Broker notes: live assistance is advertised for producers and policyholders during regular business hours of 8am-5pm PST, and contact/support channels are posted for servicing and marketing.
