MIC’s underwriting appetite.
Our MiIncome Resilience underwriting appetite enables us to offer protection designed to cover loss of income and associated loss mitigation expenses for working individuals and small businesses due to natural and man-made hazard events, and while caring for family members. These include incomes earned by an individual from a micro or small business (MSMEs), full-time or part-time employment, independent contract work, gig work, moonlighting or freelancing. We deliver our solutions through programs with commercial customers and local insurers.
What can be covered?
We do not have pre-determined triggers or perils outlined in our underwriting appetite for this type of business. Instead, we work with partners, insurers, and reinsurers to tailor the protection and restrictions to the nature of the work of their target market. For example, we can cover loss of income for a shopkeeper or a gig worker that experiences reduced trading caused by adverse weather conditions. The cause of the loss must be beyond the control of the covered worker. Typical coverage can include:
- Loss of income as a result of a covered weather event or trigger, such as a storm or flood.
- Loss of income as a result of unavailable public transit or missed travel bookings due to reasons beyond the control of the insured.
- Wage cover when caring for a family member who requires full-time support due to medical conditions that impact their ability to carry out daily activities independently. (Each program will define the family members covered. Typically coverage includes the Insured’s Spouse, Children, and Parents.)
What is typically not covered?
We work with our partners, insurers, and reinsurers to create products that add value to all parties, with typical coverage exclusions being:
- Any fraud or misrepresentation by the covered individual.
- Losses due to war, terrorism, strikes, or civil unrest.
- Losses due to nuclear, chemical, biological, radiation, pollution, and pandemic events.
Policy limits we can offer.
- MIC can offer an aggregate claim limit of USD $10,000 per covered individual. This can be adjusted up or down depending on the demographics being covered, coverage required, and scale of the program.
- We work with our partners, brokers, and insurers to tailor our limits specifically to each program.
Program reporting requirements.
- MIC requires that data on program enrolments, premiums, and claims be provided by partners on a monthly basis with insurers/brokers being able to provide data using Application Programming Interface (API) within 30 days of a program incepting.
- MIC will work with your partners, brokers, and insurers to put in place API connections for the seamless and real-time sharing of data between parties on the program.
- MIC, working with our partners, may seek integration with apps and webpages for the purpose of monitoring and validating claims, performing diagnostics, and assessing and managing risk.
Program changes.
- MIC requires the ability to review program pricing, terms, and conditions in collaboration with the partner, broker, and insurer (on new risks that are covered by the program) if the loss ratio (i.e. claims/premium) is above 65%.
Minimum annual program premium.
- MIC has a minimum annual premium on each program of 240,000 USD / CAD / GBP / EUR.

- MIC Global Syndicate 5183 is a Lloyd’s of London Syndicate managed by Asta Managing Agency Limited and can do business in territories where Lloyd’s is licensed to write (re)insurance.
