About us - who we are, what we do

---

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 over 13 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.

Coming from a relationship-oriented service background and well 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 commoditized 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 can and should coincide.

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 and risk management needs. We believe in the value of time and work to help keep the process streamlined and communication open for clients.

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! 

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 resources to build a program specific to your needs.  

Watch your losses organically reduce as your safety culture grows. What a win-win!
