Grow your business
There are two primary ways to grow your business: Add new profitable customers or maximize profits on existing customers. Either way, insurers who want to be successful need up-to-date, reliable comprehensive data on commercial properties, both for initial coverage and to maintain insurance to value (ITV) for the life of the policy.
Granular, site-verified information
Verisk surveys provide the granular, site-verified risk characteristics and exposure data you need to price a policy or verify changes to property conditions to set proper premiums at renewal. Verisk survey services are the answer for cost-effective, expert results.
Coverage-based on-site surveys:
- Builder's Risk – the project, building, exposures, and controls
- Commercial Fleet – overall operations and conditions of fleets, large and small
- General Liability – a wide variety of nonproperty exposures
- Inland Marine – equipment, motor truck cargo, and warehouse legal liability
- Multiline – property and liability exposures, including products and completed operations, auto, and crime
- Rating – construction, property hazards, private and public protection features, and occupancy details
- Workers' Compensation – exposure to injury and loss on the job
And our customized reports deliver information just the way you want it – tailored in content and format to meet your needs.

Reduce expenses
Insurers don’t often have the resources of time and personnel to conduct their own surveys, and having a team of expert field analysts on staff can be quite costly. Verisk Survey Services provides fast, high quality inspections by trained experts, giving you the data you need while controlling costs.
Get immediate alerts for high risks
Verisk surveys feature our High-Risk Notification Service at no extra charge. If a survey uncovers hazards or conditions that present immediate potential for loss, the field analyst will call the underwriter at once. You'll also get a more detailed follow-up email with photographs.
