While we have the experience to work with any industry, we have developed several specialties over the years.
Collector car clubs are a great way to showcase your prized antique vehicle(s). Brown & Brown understands that hobbyists hold their collector cars in the highest esteem, in many cases showering them with care and attention in the form of endless hours of labor, costly enhancements, and comprehensive detailing. Insuring these vehicles is equally as important for collectors, since most insurance policies utilize “
Brown and Brown offers exclusive services to Loan Officers and Mortgage Advisors by consulting with their home buyers and finding the most comprehensive coverage at the lowest cost. We recognize the importance of meeting deadlines in the process of purchasing or refinancing a home, and we are sensitive to the fact that outstanding insurance requirements can cause delays.
Settling on a plan design that fits your budget is a tactical move, but it is not a strategy. Our first step at Brown & Brown is always to work with our customers to help them articulate their immediate AND long-term goals. Once we know and understand a customer’s goals, we work to design a multi-year strategy that meets every one of those goals.
Businesses that value their employees need the power and expertise of stellar Human Resources representatives.
At Brown & Brown, we understand that every organization is unique and bears different exposures to loss.
As a national brokerage, Brown & Brown can access nearly any insurance carrier and can write coverage globally.
While we are insurance brokers, we understand that effectively managing risk means more than just purchasing a policy.
No one has to tell an employer in today’s market that the costs associated with their pharmacy program are on the rise with no silver bullet in sight to correct that trajectory. While that is certainly true for the overall market, we have solutions to increase transparency and minimize those costs for our customers.
To properly identify the risks driving your company’s healthcare expenses, it’s important to conduct a holistic review of your company profile. Your Brown & Brown representatives will ensure that this review is carried out with the utmost care and consideration. The data we compile will directly shape your benefits plan, and it can also help us determine targeted strategies to reduce risk for your particular business.
There are several regulations governing employee benefit plans, many of which are extremely complex.
When considering a specific exposure to loss, there are usually multiple ways to insure for it. These will inherently bear certain advantages and disadvantages as well as varying costs. Looking deeper, insurance contracts bear a myriad of terms and conditions which often vary widely from one edition or insurance company to another.
Your employees’ ability to perform at their peak depends upon a number of factors. Regardless, the wellbeing of your employees will always directly affect your organization’s bottom line.
With the NWFA Trust, we can guarantee:
There are many factors to employee success in the workplace. Ambition, tact, and creativity can increase an employee’s value in an organization. But engagement—on the whole—may be the most important factor of all because it is owned and internalized by each individual. This means engaged employees want to succeed, which, in turn, furthers the organization’s success.
The landscape of employee benefits is always changing. We help you stay on top of what you need to know by keeping you abreast of new laws that are passed and new items that need to be implemented. We help make it easy for you to meet annual notice distribution requirements and are always a resource for your tricky compliance questions and concerns.
For most employees, the more choice the better! A customized voluntary benefits program designed to augment the more traditional employer’s selected offerings gives your employees the ability to design an overall benefit program that more specifically addresses their needs and budget.
