So much has happened in the last several months as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The way we do business has drastically changed; traditional in-person visits have given way to working virtually from “home” offices.
I am grateful for your continued trust and collaboration, even during these challenging times. I believe communication will be a key to success as we navigate these circumstances, so I look forward to using this monthly e-newsletter to keep you informed of GuideOne updates and accomplishments.
Speaking of accomplishments, I’m excited to share a few notable wins we recently had in the Northeast:
Community House, $238,220
Mission Society, $44,649
Northern Manhattan Improvement, $43,371
ExpandED Schools Inc., $115,370
Abuse Network, $13,153
Armenian Church, $45,000
Christian School, $8,714
Baptist Church, $22,000
Though many know GuideOne for our religious organization products, it’s clear that our specialized experience expands into other niches as well, including Non-Profit & Human Services organizations.
Even through the pandemic, GuideOne will continue to find ways to better protect your customers and help you grow your business. Despite new environments and challenges, I know we are working together to GIVE insureds and partners our best.
Growth – GuideOne strives to be a key partner in niche markets like Nonprofit & Human Services and Religious Organizations.
Integrity – GuideOne is honest in what we can offer, never overpromising.
Excel – GuideOne aims to deliver an excellent level of service, no matter where we work from.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions at 609-578-0491 or DMcCue@guideone.com.
Thank you,

GuideOne Expands BOP for Small Churches
Further demonstrating our commitment to supporting small churches, we are expanding our Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) eligibility with three enhancements for small churches. These enhancements will be available in the BOP Portal on Oct. 17, 2020 for policies with effective dates on or after Nov. 1, 2020.
Enhancements include:
Increase property Total Insured Value (TIV) less than/or equal to $5 million per building (building value + contents value)
Allow for up to five locations
Ability to write property in all protection classes, including 8, 9 and 10
By selecting a BOP for small churches, you have the ability to rate, quote and bind eligible policies quickly and easily. In addition, a BOP is a great option for a small church that is looking for a more economical suite of coverages to meet their unique needs – especially during these turbulent times.
Watch for additional coverages in early 2021 that will create eligibility for church headquarters and daycare operations, as well as expanded property and inland marine coverages.
GuideVantage in Focus
Preferred Claims & Risk Mitigation Vendors
We know that the best laid plans can be turned upside down in a split second. Severe storms, frozen/bursting pipes and water leaks, electrical fires, and injuries on premises are all examples of unplanned events that can result in significant damage to property and people, resulting in costly insurance claims. Through GuideVantage’s Preferred Claims & Risk Mitigation Vendors, your customers have access to top risk management vendors who offer free or significantly discounted services and resources when the unexpected occurs.
Here are just a few of these resources focused on helping your customers stay-claim-free as well as helping them better manage and mitigate their risks.
GC3 — Rebuild with Confidence
GuideOne’s construction company, GC3, specializes in reconstruction projects for large loss commercial insurance policies.

GC3 offers targeted solutions ranging from loss consulting and inspections to full restoration projects for GuideOne customers in the wake of natural disasters and other serious loss events.
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and our Information Security Analyst shared a few tips to help businesses and organizations #BeCyberSmart. Pass them along to help keep your customers protected from today's cyber risks:
As part of our effort to be easy to do business with, GuideOne is implementing digital premium payment capabilities through its new BillingCenter – set to launch in fourth quarter 2020 for new business and first quarter 2021 for renewal business.
Using BillingCenter for inbound and outbound payments processing, our policyholders will be able to quickly send and receive payments with ease and confidence. Expanded premium processing capabilities will include credit and debit cards, instant digital payments and ACH, as well as checks. The new system also allows for real-time, event-based messaging and comprehensive security and compliance across all payment channels.
We are excited to offer these options and efficiencies to our policyholders that are aimed at improving their user experience and ease of doing business with GuideOne.
Watch GuideOne Monthly for more information as we get closer to implementing BillingCenter.
