Multinational Business Coverage

Why Multinational

Could Your Multinational Coverage Be Missing Something?

The Hartford’s multinational products can provide coverage in more than 220 countries through a single point of contact in the U.S. It’s borderless, delivering one coordinated insurance program for every risk we cover.
 
Why Multinational

What Is Multinational Insurance, and Why Do You Need It?

Multinational insurance protects U.S.-based businesses that have locations outside of the U.S. or operate throughout the world. Insurance claims can be complicated due to language barriers, local laws, customs and norms that differ from country to country.
 
The Hartford Global Insurer Network was created to deliver local insurance policies to our U.S. business clients with multinational office locations. These policies are issued locally, paid in local currency, and are specific to the country where the business is operating.
 
Today, even small companies can source or sell products and services overseas. In fact, according to a recent research study conducted by The Hartford:1
72%
of businesses surveyed sell their products or provide services outside of the U.S.
63%
of businesses surveyed have employees who travel outside the U.S. for business.
1 in 4
of the businesses surveyed have employees permanently located outside of the U.S.

Things To Consider

  • Multinational policies can be written for any size company in a wide range of industries.
  • If you’re operating in a litigious market, you need a strong financial presence. Even in emerging markets, third-party injury lawsuits are on the rise.
  • The difference between the value of the U.S. dollar compared to the currency value in other countries where you operate, and the fluctuations in those values, can have a huge impact on your financial condition.
  • Multinational companies can obtain appropriate and relevant coverage through a controlled master program structure that combines a broad master policy with local policies issued in the countries where the company operates.

Foreign local policies are underwritten by locally licensed third-party foreign insurers within The Hartford Global Insurer Network but are not related with The Hartford by ownership. Exporters and CMP policies are underwritten by Hartford Fire Insurance Company in the U.S. and issued to the U.S.-based insured, covering its financial interest relating to its exposures located outside of the U.S. Generally, claims under foreign local policies will be adjusted and paid locally by the local insurer with The Hartford providing oversight and serving as the U.S. insured’s point of contact in the U.S. Claims under the Exporters and CMP policies will generally be handled in the U.S. and paid to the U.S. insured in accordance with the terms and conditions of the policies.
