About Novum

At heart, Novum is an insurance carrier operating on an agency platform.

Our core focus is offering customers competitive quotes in a fraction of the time of our competitors, without sacrificing an ounce of underwriting integrity. Located in the Cleveland Ohio area, Novum’s foundation is built on exceptional underwriting and IT talent.
