About us - who we are, what we do
The Background
Ascent Insurance Solutions is an independent commercial insurance agency/brokerage born from the desire to offer clients competitive products & stellar personalized service. The owner of Ascent has a strong background working with entities large and small, public and private, as a trusted risk management partner for almost 12 years. The firm was born from the belief that client care does not have to suffer in favor of profit and that small to mid-sized organizations should also have full support from their trusted advisors.
The Core Values
Coming from a relationship-oriented service background and over a decade of commercial insurance experience, the owner of Ascent Insurance Solutions understands and values the business exposures that clients entrust with their insurance professionals. Policies are often bought online with no guidance on appropriate limits or coverages, bought through a powerhouse with a primary goal of profit above all, or through agencies who primarily focus on personal lines (home & auto) insurance. This can leave clients exposed and frequently neglected in their time of need. The owner of Ascent Insurance Solutions is "boots on the ground" involved in every aspect of operation, believing that client care and profitability should coincide. *For those that prefer the online only approach, we do have those options, though we are still available to assist and often find more savings doing the shopping for you.*
The Services - Insurance Review
Complimentary review of your existing commercial P&C insurance package. We understand that insurance can be daunting and work with you to find competitive solutions to your coverage needs. We believe in the value of time and work to keep the process streamlined and communication open for clients.
The Services - Claims Support
The purpose of insurance is to transfer the financial risk in the event "the bad thing" happens. What about guidance when it does? Who tells you what to expect or advocates for you? With a strong background in risk management, we believe in building lasting relationships with clients and carriers in effort to help ease the tensions on already stressful situations. We further believe in setting up the policies properly in effort to help avoid surprises when they do!
The Services - Safety & Culture Resources
Need guidance on establishing a safety program or evaluation of your current programs? In addition to in house support, we have strategic partnerships with Safety, Risk, and Human Resource pros to build a program specific to your needs. Watch your losses organically reduce as your safety culture grows. What a win-win!
