NEXT Insurance, a digital Insurtech transforming small business insurance, announced its integration with Ivans Download for General Liability and Workers’ Compensation policies.
This feature reportedly “offers a seamless exchange of policy data between NEXT and its appointed agents, furthering the company’s commitment to facilitating an efficient process for agents and the small businesses they serve.”
