TAILORED
Solutions other firms may overlook
OPEN-BOOK
Costs, fees, and commissions made clear
ACCOUNTABLE
The same team beside you at every step.
LONG-TERM
Partnership over transactions
Big-firm experience showed us there is a better way.
After more than 40 collective years inside large insurance firms, our team understood both the strengths those companies offer and where their model can leave clients wanting more.
What our experience revealed
40+ years collectively spent working for large insurance firms showed us:
Large-firm incentives can place transactions ahead of long-term relationships and true transparency.
Layered service structures can separate clients from advisors who understand their business.
Routine administration and support can create costs that are not always clear upfront.
Coverage may be placed without the ongoing guidance needed as a business changes.
The model we built
Fortis Insurance Associates delivers deep expertise and market access through a model designed to put clients first:
Recommendations shaped by your goals, not transaction volume
One accountable team that knows your business and stays alongside you
Full visibility into fees, commissions, and strategic reasoning
Ongoing administration, claims guidance, and coverage reviews at no additional cost
Dedicated claims team to be by your side when you need us
Unique solutions that improve employee care and save money
WHAT WE DO
Two areas of expertise.
One partnership built around you.
Employee Benefits
Build a benefits strategy that supports your people and your bottom line. We uncover tailored options others may overlook, then provide ongoing support to manage costs responsibly without compromising employee care.
Property and Casualty
Protect your business with coverage built around how it actually operates. We identify exposures, explain each recommendation, and stay involved as claims, markets, and business needs change.
WHAT WE DO
Questions arise. Businesses change. Sometimes things do not go as expected. When that happens, the same team that designed your solutions stays involved, takes ownership, and helps move the issue toward resolution.
Accountability does not end when coverage begins.
Same Team, Every Step
Work directly with advisors who already understand your business, industry, goals, and coverage. No phone tree. No starting over with someone new.
Support Without Add-On Fees
Our help with claims, administrative work, M&A activity, audits, liability reviews, and coverage questions comes at no additional cost.
Protection That Evolves
We continually evaluate changes in your business, the insurance market, and emerging risks so your benefits and coverage remain aligned with what you need today and next.
