COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Bold Penguin continues to evolve and expand its small commercial insurance Exchange and announces today the availability of a new carrier, Acuity Insurance. Acuity joins a growing list of carriers on the platform and will offer business owner's policy, general liability, workers' compensation, and soon to be released commercial auto coverage.

Bold Penguin's Exchange has grown rapidly in 2020, adding eight major partnerships, two additional coverage lines, and completing two acquisitions in the previous 12 months. Powering an average of 100,000 small business shopping experiences each month, it is the largest commercial insurance exchange in the United States.

"Aligned in our shared commitment to small businesses and their trusted advisors, the integration of Acuity introduces one of the most tech-forward carriers to the Bold Penguin platform," said Jim Struntz, Chief Operating Officer of Bold Penguin. "Acuity has an outstanding reputation across both agents and insureds, and we are thrilled to offer Bold Penguin Terminal users access to its broad suite of products."

By adding a super regional carrier like Acuity to its Exchange, Bold Penguin will be able to target and partner with a wider array of insurance agents. Selectively adding carriers like Acuity also strengthens the Exchange's offering and ability to meet the policy needs of small business owners across a broad set of classes.
