How It Works
All you need to do is enter four pieces of information to get a complete look at your total potential benefits:
- Annual sales
- Number of items sold over $2,500 annually
- Annual number of shipments

A formula is applied that takes the estimated benefit each program offers and how all of them combined can offset your insurance cost in some cases.
