LTD Acceptance is a private property and auto insurance carrier specializing in sports cars and motorcycles.
LTD Acceptance is a private property and auto insurance carrier specializing in sports cars and motorcycles. This organization is owned by LTD Capital, a large equity group with over 15 holdings. LTD Acceptance is the parent company’s single largest holding as it drives 70% of total revenue. Due to the inherent risk involved in that market segment, many of LTD Acceptance’s competitors do not offer policies for sports cars or motorcycles. This market segment is underserved, so the organization has 20,000 active policies for a sports car or a motorcycle.
LTD is headquartered in Houston, TX. LTD does not sell insurance directly to the public. Instead, it uses third-party agents to sell its policies.
