Isom Brokerage

What Isom Brokerage does

ISOM Brokerage is a privately held construction insurance and bonding brokerage serving contractors across the Tri-State Area of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. The firm operates as an intermediary between contractors and A-rated national insurance carriers - Travelers, Liberty Mutual, The Hartford, Chubb, CNA, and Nationwide - placing general liability, bonding, workers' compensation, contractor disability, builders risk, and owner-controlled insurance programs (OCIP). Its customer base is dominated by SMB trade subcontractors (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, masonry, drywall) along with general contractors and, more selectively, project owners requiring OCIP coverage for large-scale multi-contractor builds. Coverage is licensed across NY, NJ, and CT with a stated focus on the New York City and Long Island construction markets.

ISOM's underlying approach is described as custom insurance program engineering rather than off-the-shelf policy distribution. Each client is paired with a dedicated broker who shops the contractor's risk across the carrier network and structures coverage around the specific loss history, trade, and bid pipeline. The firm advertises same-business-day certificate of insurance turnaround, contrasted against industry norms of days to weeks, and a 5-minute web application initiates broker follow-up within one business day. The go-to-market is relationship-driven inside sales, with phone-based consultation as a secondary channel; there is no agency network, marketplace, or aggregator distribution.

Revenue is generated through commissions paid by carriers for placed coverage, the standard transaction-fee model for commercial insurance brokerage. The company has no disclosed institutional funding, no parent organization, and no M&A history in the source material; it appears to be founder-financed. No proprietary technology platform, mobile application, API, or AI/ML capability is disclosed, indicating the business runs on broker expertise, carrier relationships, and operational service levels rather than on software-based differentiation. The firm operates from a single regional office in Garden City / Long Island City, NY, with headcount between 11 and 50 employees.
