About Northshore
A specialty brokerage for commercial financial risk.
Northshore focuses on the exposures inside a company's financial operations: what customers owe, how funds move, and which counterparties a business depends on to get paid.
We work with owners, CFOs and controllers to identify where loss could arise, then source insurance structured around those exposures from the markets suited to write them.
- Independent: we represent the client, not a single insurer.
- Specialized: receivables, credit, crime, fraud, cyber and cross-border risk.
- Involved: from first review through renewals and claims.

Our Approach
One relationship. Access to multiple insurance markets.
Northshore is an insurance broker, not an insurance carrier. We don't issue policies or decide claims. We work on your side of the table, with the insurers that do.
- 01
Understand
We review your business model, receivables, customers, transaction flows, geographic exposure, and existing insurance program.
- 02
Structure
Our team identifies the risks that warrant transfer and develops an insurance strategy around your specific exposure.
- 03
Market
We approach appropriate insurance carriers and specialty markets on your behalf, comparing available terms, limits, exclusions, pricing, and coverage structures.
- 04
Support
Our involvement continues after placement. We assist with policy administration, renewals, changes in exposure, and the claims process.
We represent our clients in the insurance marketplace, not a single carrier.
Speak With a Broker
When Something Goes Wrong
A broker should be there for more than the policy placement.
Insurance becomes most important when a loss occurs. Northshore works alongside clients throughout the claims process, helping organize supporting documentation, coordinate communication with insurers, and advocate for an efficient resolution.

Organize invoices, correspondence, contracts, collection records, transaction documentation, and other supporting materials.
02Coordinate
Serve as a point of coordination between the insured, carrier, adjusters, and other relevant parties.
03Advocate
Help ensure the claim is presented clearly and evaluated according to the terms and conditions of the applicable policy.
Broker vs. Carrier
Why work with a broker?
An insurance company sells its own policies. A broker works for the business buying insurance and compares options across markets.
