CIG HISTORY It all started in California. Near the turn of the century, farming and ranching had a rich and deeply rooted history in the area and was the most important economic activity in the region. In 1898, Ventura County Mutual Fire Insurance Company was formed by a group of prosperous California farmers. They needed a way to provide coverage that would protect them from disastrous claims – especially fire.

From these humble beginnings, the company grew, merged, and evolved through the years into Capital Insurance Group® (CIG), the leading regional property and casualty insurer serving the Western United States.

2001 California Insurance Group is named to the prestigious Ward’s 50 list for the first time. Every year since 1991, the Ward Group has conducted an analysis and evaluated more than 3,000 property-casualty insurance companies to identify the 50 top performers. Each Ward’s 50 company has passed all safety and consistency screens and achieved superior performance over the five years analyzed. Nevada Capital Insurance Company incorporates on June 13, 2001, in the state of Nevada to write property/casualty business, commencing January 1, 2002.

BUILDING OWNER INSURANCE

Page 12: Insurance Group

Owning and running a building is an enormous undertaking and responsibility. Theft, disaster, lawsuits, breakage, and business interruption can be extremely disruptive to your business and to those who utilize your building. That’s why it’s important that your insurance partner has the expertise to recommend the best coverage options for your property.

CIG provides building owners with customized insurance plans and packages specifically tailored to fit your business needs. As the leading property and casualty insurer serving the Western United States, CIG insures commercial property, apartments, offices, buildings or offices leased to others, HOAs, warehouses, storage facilities, distribution centers, covered parking structures, schools, and institutional buildings.

Apartment Building Insurance

CIG is a leader in apartment insurance. We understand that protecting your multi-unit residential housing investment is different than insuring other kinds of properties. Tenants rely on you during a crisis. Your ability to quickly fix, recover, and sustain the viability of your residential property is essential.

CIG’s Business Owners Policy (BOP) for apartment buildings is designed to cover property and liability exposures that are uniquely associated with multi-unit residential buildings. We protect you from financial loss, damage, liability, and business interruption that can result from unforeseen situations including theft, disaster, lawsuit, and breakage.

Have you made any changes to your apartment building since your last insurance review? Did you add a pool or spa? More parking spaces? Perhaps you upgraded appliances? Installed carbon monoxide detectors? A new sprinkler or fire alarm system?

CIG offers up to a 24-month Period of Indemnity for Business Interruption, and our Equipment Breakdown protection covers electrical and air conditioning. For your Building Ordinance coverage, we automatically provide $100,000 per building and allow you the option to purchase coverage up to the building’s limit.

Does your current coverage take into account all risk contingencies? Call a professional CIG Insurance Advisor to discuss a customized apartment building insurance plan and other cost-saving coverage options. Be sure to ask about the 5% premium reduction Renewal Credit, the Smoke-Free Building Credit, and all the credits that may apply to your BOP.

Leased Building Insurance

The success of your properties depends on how well you maintain and manage your leased buildings, as well as on having the right insurance coverage to minimize the impact on tenants and protect your investment from losses should the unexpected occur.

Protect your leased properties against loss, damage, liability, or business interruption with CIG, so you’re prepared when unforeseen events such as theft, fire, breakage, and lawsuits take place.

When it comes to risk, liability, and exposure, no two properties are alike. That’s why it’s best to talk with a CIG Insurance Advisor who can help you create an individualized safety and security plan that provides the exact coverage you need.

HOA Insurance

Managing a homeowners association (HOA) is never easy. One thing most HOA boards agree on is having good insurance protection for their property and liability risks. The governance of your residential complex is similar to running a small town – you’re responsible for the safety and security of common-use areas, as well as for managing the budget and maintenance.

CIG will work with your HOA board to customize a policy that fits your community’s needs. Our speedy On-the-Spot™ Response and FastTrack Processing™ of claims can make a big difference in rectifying damage or loss before residents become frustrated or upset.
