InstructionsLTD Acceptance (a fictitious company) is a private auto insurance carrier specializing in sports cars and motorcycles. LTD Capital, a large equity group with over 15 holdings, owns LTD Acceptance. LTD Acceptance is the parent company’s largest holding, driving 70% of total revenue.

This market segment is underserved, and LTD Acceptance organization currently has 20,000 active sports car and motorcycle policies.

However, no evidence of negligence has emerged as the organization has yet to have a year in which it was not profitable. LTD has also had the good fortune of not suffering losses because of natural disasters or catastrophic events.
