  • 1.  Shopping for Commercial Insurance

    Posted 09-28-2025 01:45 PM
    Wondering if there are members who have used Self Storage Alliance Owners Insurance (www.ssoia.org) to shop for & purchase commercial insurance.  We're a small rural Mom & Pop facility, and over the years our insurance broker has yet to view our facility.  I want to make sure we have realistic coverage on our buildings and would like some guidance on replacement/re-building costs, etc.  Thanks in advance.

    I am in contact and currently getting a quote. My current policy was quoted to increase more than double from my current carrier, and they wanted to exclude any wind related damage! Paul Divis reached out to me from ssoia.org. I filled out the online form...

    Chris,

    Just wondering if you went with the insurance company through SSOIA and what you thought of the experience.

    Thanks,

    I'd love to learn more about your business needs and connect you with a colleague from our Frost Bank Insurance team. As a commercial lender at Frost, I work in tandem with our commercial insurance advisors, and together we help make insurance decisions more straightforward. Our team can review your current coverage and provide professional, objective guidance on any gaps. I'd be glad to discuss further and help coordinate next steps.
