Frequently asked questions

What is an independent insurance agency?

An independent insurance agency works with multiple insurance carriers instead of just one. This gives you access to a variety of coverage options, pricing, and policies tailored to your specific needs.

Does it cost more to work with an agent?

No. In most cases, you’ll pay the same or even less than if you bought a policy directly from a carrier. Agents help you find the best value for your coverage, and their services are paid for by the carrier.

What are the advantages of working with an independent agent?

You get personalized service, expert advice, and access to multiple insurance carriers—all from one point of contact. We advocate for you, not the insurance company, and we’re here to help with claims, policy reviews, and ongoing risk management.

Can you help with multiple types of insurance?

Yes. Whether you need coverage for a restaurant, franchise, deli, pizzeria, or other business, we can build a comprehensive program that includes general liability, property, workers' comp, cyber, commercial auto, and more. We can even help you with your home, auto, life and health policies

What if I already have insurance?

No problem. We can review your current policy to identify gaps, overlaps, or opportunities to improve coverage or pricing. There’s no obligation—just honest advice.  

If you like what we have to offer, we’ll assist you with making a smooth transition from your current agent or broker.

How long does it take to get a quote?

That depends on the complexity of your business, but in many cases, we can provide a quote within a few business days after gathering the right information.
