Experienced Team

PRIME INC. was formed in December 1997 by a group of independent businessmen and women. The majority of these professional people have been in the collateral recovery business for many years. Some of these professionals have served on several of the trade associations as officers. PRIME's management understands the need for reliable insurance coverage and the need to have a working relationship between the insurance company, the recovery agent, and most importantly, the clients of the recovery agent.

These individuals were in business when insurance for recovery agents was limited to only a few companies. They understand that the only way an insurance program can be successful is to recruit only the true professionals of the industry. Professionals with the expertise to manage their business and implement programs that are designed to provide training and materials to control claims. It was decided to keep the insured informed by the use of newsletters and safety seminars.
