What We Do

You tried. One of your insureds came to you with a hard-to-place risk and you tried your traditional markets but it just wouldn't fit. Now what do you do? 

Introducing Access One80. The best place to submit a simple online application to get your clients the coverage they need.

Sometimes you get an instant indication, sometimes these policies with hair take a bit more time in underwriting. If you have questions, leave a comment in the specific account.

It all started when we tried to fix a broken system. Emails back and forth and the shuffling of all those paper applications wasted time. Why not handle everything in one easy to use portal? 

Access One80 is everything you've been looking for that you didn't even know you needed.

About Our Managing Director Martin Burlingame

Martin Burlingame

Mr. Burlingame entered the insurance world in 2004 as a captive Farmers Insurance Group agent, before joining an aggregator in 2007. Two years later he started Commercial Insurance Group, LLC (C.I.G) as a commercial wholesale insurance operation. C.I.G grew to 40+ markets, both non-admitted and admitted, covering a broad spectrum of risks. C.I.G. developed into Bigfoot Insurance - one of the top managing general agencies in the US. Then, the company was acquired by One80 Intermediaries and became Access One80.

Burlingame is the Managing Director of Access One80 and manages the property desk but also seeks to address the huge disruptive changes taking place in the insurance industry. The company developed a proprietary agent facing portal which enables agents to quote/bind/issue as well as dialog with underwriters for submissions. With offices in Colorado, Missouri, Michigan and Macedonia (processing center), Access One80 serves over 9,500 agents across the United States. Access One80 is a member of W.S.I.A & Target Markets and Mr. Burlingame is a Lloyds coverholder.

Mr. Burlingame is a graduate of Washington & Lee University and has a M.A in Management from Webster University. He is a veteran of the United States Army with a combat tour in Somalia.
