Rainbow Expands Independent Agent Reach through Partnership with First Connect

Admitted Business Owner's Policy Program Specializing in Restaurants Now Available on First Connect 

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Rainbow, a leading provider of insurance solutions for restaurants, is thrilled to officially announce the launch of a partnership with First Connect, a digital platform designed to provide independent agents access to some of the nation's top carriers and MGAs,

Rainbow's broad, admitted appetite and customer service expertise provides an important step forward in First Connect's commitment to supporting independent agents, who in turn support small business owners, including restaurant owners and operators. By leveraging a modern digital experience, the First Connect platform provides a seamless avenue for agents to discover and procure a wide range of products and services for their insured clients.

"We are thrilled to be partnering closely with First Connect to bring more of our insurance solutions to the restaurant community," said Bobby Touran, CEO of Rainbow. "The market for insuring restaurants has changed so much in the past several years, and restaurant owners and their agents have unfortunately been left with fewer dependable options for the coverages they require to operate with peace of mind. Rainbow's mission is to solve that problem with a very broad appetite including establishments with up to 65% of sales coming from alcohol, and the First Connect platform allows us to reach more of those businesses through the agent community."

"Rainbow is a great addition to our growing roster of carriers with an appetite for insuring small businesses," said Aviad Pinkovezky, President of First Connect. "We've heard from our agents that they often struggle to find the right markets for restaurant risks, and that the marketplace is becoming more challenging every day. The deep specialization and expertise in insurance coverage for restaurants that Rainbow brings to First Connect agents is a valuable opportunity."
