Specialty and standard insurance for businesses and the people who run them.

We place the coverage that generalist agencies decline: film production, media liability and professional liability. We also write the general liability, property, workers' compensation, auto and cyber policies every business needs. And we insure the owners themselves, with auto, home and umbrella policies.

What people ask us

Can I really issue my own certificate?

Yes. Clients log in to the portal and generate a certificate that reflects the coverage on their policy, any hour. If the holder needs wording that is not endorsed on the policy yet, send us the request and we add the endorsement first, where the policy allows it.

What is QuickStart?

A secure page run by InsurGrid, the policy-sharing service we use. You share your current policies in a few minutes and we receive the coverages, limits and carriers you have now, so we can quote like for like. How QuickStart works.

Do you only work with film and media companies?

No. Production, media and professional liability are specialties because few agencies handle them well, but most of our clients are contractors, professional firms, small businesses and households with standard coverage needs.
