Who writes credit in Ohio

Top insurer groups from the NAIC market share report; the state's list carries no lines of authority.

Amtrust Financial Serv Group wrote the most credit in Ohio in 2025, $29.0M and 25.4% of the state's premium; the top five groups hold 69%. Ohio's company list doesn't say which lines each company is licensed for, so the ranking below is the NAIC's top 10 groups; every licensed company is on the Ohio page.

Method and source

Source: the Ohio Department of Insurance company list, read 2026-10-17. Ohio's authorized list carries a company type code; the department publishes no surplus lines list (eligibility follows the home state and the NAIC Quarterly Listing). "Premium" is direct premium written in the state for the year shown; "share" is that company's part of the state total for the line. A company can be licensed for a line and write none of it, and a surplus lines insurer can write a line without a state license for it.

Need credit in Ohio?

Someone will insure it. I find who.

Send what you need covered and what happened before. I match it to the companies that take it, down to the last-resort plan if it comes to that. I'm licensed in 48 states and Washington, DC and your request stays with my agency, not passed to another agent. In Florida and Washington, where my licenses are still being issued, a partner agency in your state helps in the meantime.
