Yes. No single insurance company employs us. We sell through our affiliation with Pacific Crest Services and compare options from the carriers available through it.

Yes. Every conversation, explanation and document review can happen in English, Spanish, Russian or Ukrainian.

No. Sometimes the right answer is to keep what you have, and we’ll tell you so.

Your current declarations pages if you have them, driver’s license numbers and vehicle info for auto, your home’s address for home, and a description of operations, payroll and revenue for business.

Many personal policies can be quoted the same day. Coverage begins only when a carrier approves the application and binds the policy. Business and life usually take longer because of underwriting.

Indiana requires liability of at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for injuries, plus $25,000 for property damage (often written 25/50/25). Insurers must also offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, which you can only decline in writing. A serious accident can cost far more than the minimums, so most drivers carry higher limits.

Driving record, vehicle, where it’s garaged, mileage, age and experience, limits and deductibles, prior insurance and, in many cases, credit-based insurance factors allowed by Indiana law. Each carrier weighs these differently — which is why we compare.

Bundling with home or renters, multi-car, good driver, good student, paid in full, paperless, safety features and telematics programs. We’ll tell you which apply to you.

Some carriers will insure drivers with an international or foreign license, usually with conditions. Getting an Indiana license opens up more options.

A certificate your insurer files with the Indiana BMV to prove you carry required coverage, usually after certain violations or a lapse. In Indiana it’s typically required for three years; your BMV notice states the exact period. Not every carrier offers it — we know which do.

No. Requesting quotes isn’t a claim. Credit-based insurance scores use soft inquiries that don’t affect your credit score.

Location, age and construction of the home, roof age and type, rebuilding cost, claims history, deductibles and, in many cases, credit-based insurance factors allowed by state law.

State law doesn’t require it, but almost every mortgage lender does. Even without a mortgage, it protects what is usually your largest asset.

Standard policies generally exclude flood. Flood coverage is available separately through the NFIP or private carriers.

Replacement cost pays to replace an item new. Actual cash value subtracts depreciation, so you receive less.

Most start with general liability. Indiana requires workers’ comp once you have even one employee (owners and a few other groups can be exempt). Business vehicles need commercial auto; property, professional and cyber depend on what you do.

General liability covers claims against you. A BOP bundles that liability with property coverage for your building, equipment and inventory, often at a lower combined price.

Your industry and operations, revenue, payroll, employees and vehicles, claims history, location and the limits you choose. Each carrier has an appetite for different industries — comparing matters most here.

Yes. Businesses that buy one policy at a time often end up with gaps or pay twice for the same thing. A business review looks at everything together, free.

Often not. Employer coverage is usually one or two times salary and typically ends when you leave the job.

Often, yes. Underwriting varies by carrier, which is why comparing matters. We can’t promise approval or a rate before you apply.

Most applications ask about your health, medications, family history, job and hobbies. Some policies need a short medical exam; others don’t. We explain each step in your language.

Possibly — if someone depends on you financially, you have co-signed debts, or you want to lock in a rate while you’re young and healthy.
