Common questions about business owner services

No matter the size of your company, business owner insurance is an important way to protect what you’ve built. We’ll work with you, your accountant, and/or your attorney to understand your unique needs and to find the best solutions for you and your business. We also consult with our own experienced team of advanced planning professionals to give you the best possible guidance and support. Connect with an agent to start a conversation about your business needs.

You probably have responsibilities beyond making a profit in your business. Your family and employees depend on you, so we offer comprehensive solutions for you at home and at work. Whether you need a key person policy to protect your business, personal life insurance to protect your family, or retirement planning to help ensure your future, your agent will help you customize an approach.

Your needs will depend on your individual situation, but it’s usually advisable to have a policy (or policies) specifically designed for your needs as a business owner. Individual policies protect your family in the event of the unexpected, and business owner policies can do the same (and more) for your company. Your agent can help you choose and manage all the policies you need.

Your costs may depend on how many key employees are included, the products you select, any underwriting that may be needed, and the needs of your family. Your agent will work closely with you to find the right solutions within your budget and to make adjustments in the future as your business grows.
