How is a non-admitted insurance company different from an admitted insurance company?

It has a higher regulatory burden
It is not subject to state insurance laws
It can offer lower premiums
It is backed by the state Guaranty Fund

The correct answer is: It is not subject to state insurance laws

A non-admitted insurance company is one that is not licensed by a particular state's insurance department, meaning it is not subject to the same regulatory framework as admitted companies. Because it does not hold a state license, it does not require approval for its policies or premium rates by state regulators. This lack of oversight can allow non-admitted insurers to offer more specialized or innovative insurance products that might not be available from admitted insurers, who must adhere to strict regulatory standards. In contrast, admitted insurance companies are licensed to operate in a specific state and must comply with all local insurance laws and regulations, including contributing to state guaranty funds that provide protection to policyholders in the event of the insurer's insolvency. Thus, the distinction centers around licensing and the regulatory environment that impacts how each type of company operates.
