Why Clandestine
You build the mission.
We underwrite the risk.
Most markets treat a defense supplier, a UAS manufacturer and a firearms maker as ordinary businesses, or as risks they would rather not write. We know how each one is built, sold and contracted, and we show you what is driving the price.
- 01
We learn the program
Contracts, production, test, distribution. Ten minutes of plain description beats a form you had to guess your way through.
- 02
We go to the right markets
Your submission is rated on what you actually do, then taken to the 20+ specialty carriers that still write this class of risk.
- 03
We explain the terms
What it costs, which carrier, and what moved the price, while there is still time to do something about it.
Sectors we serve
Five divisions. One standard of understanding.
Each division has its own page, its own language and advisors who know how that business is built, contracted and rated, from airframes and payloads to FFL / SOT manufacturing.

What we cover
Built around the whole operation.
Premises and products rated separately, inventory scheduled by category, excess written alongside the primary, not bolted on.
Contract compliance
Your contract already says what you need. We make sure you have it.
Government and prime contracts set the insurance terms: FAR Part 28 requirements, DFARS clauses and prime flow-downs. Send us the insurance section and we build the program around it, before your customer asks for the certificate.

Step 3: You get terms, explained
What it costs, which carrier, and what moved the price. No surprises at renewal.
Clients
Before Brent, we were underinsured and paying far too much. With his help, we’re now fully covered, added cyber insurance, and still saved $20K in premium.
Individual results vary. Savings depend on the operation, its coverage and the market at the time.
Common questions
What executives ask first.
Don’t see yours? Call (970) 580-8067 and talk to the agency principal directly.
Yes. Send us the insurance section of the contract and we build the program around it: limits, additional insured status, waivers of subrogation. Far better to start there than to find a gap the day your customer asks for a certificate.
Yes. A non-renewal usually means the last market stopped writing the class, not that the risk can’t be placed. We rate the submission on what you actually do and take it to the 20+ specialty markets that still write it.
A broker, not a carrier. We work for you, take your submission to the specialty markets that fit, and explain which carrier, what it costs and what moved the price.
Yes. We’re Montana-based and licensed in all 50 states.
A call or an email. Tell us about the operation (contracts, production, test, distribution) and send the insurance section of any contract you’re working to. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
