Commercial Insurance Support and Services

---

When was the last time your coverage limits and exclusions were reviewed?

Most business policies are built from templates that leave dangerous gaps.

At Ascent, we design custom business insurance packages that protect all sides of your operations — not just the basics.

Common inclusions:

• Employment Practices Liability (EPLI)
   
• Cyber & Professional Liability
   
• Employee Benefits Liability
   
• General Liability & Umbrella
   

We help you protect what you’ve built — and the people who make it possible.

Workers’ compensation is required in nearly every state (except Texas).

If you have employees, it’s not optional — but it is one of the few lines of insurance where you can actually influence your costs.

That’s why it’s our favorite.

With the right strategy, a proactive safety culture, and a broker who knows the system inside and out (hi there), you can take control of key pricing factors and reduce your total cost of risk.

 Are you a commercial real estate investor or CRE broker looking for a partner who actually understands property risk?

Before joining the commercial insurance world, our owner worked in commercial real estate capital, so we get it — from replacement cost nuances to lender requirements.

We specialize in:

• Retail, restaurant, and mixed-use developments
   
• Warehouses and light industrial facilities
   
• Apartment complexes and investment properties
   

Expect clear communication, competitive pricing, and coverage that actually fits your asset.

Does your organization own a fleet of vehicles — even a small one?

Do employees or owners ever use personal vehicles for business?

Do you rent vehicles while traveling for work?

If you answered yes to any of the above, it’s time to take a closer look at your commercial auto coverage.

From passenger cars to heavy trucks — and everything in between — Ascent Insurance Solutions has access to top transportation and fleet markets. Whether you need a standalone policy or a package with your general liability, we’ve got you covered.

What sets us apart: we offer in-house safety support through Ascent Safety Solutions, led by a 35-year OTR veteran with 3.8 million accident-free miles.

Are you a contractor who’s struggled to get certificates of insurance (COIs) fast enough to start a job — or get paid?
Did you buy insurance online and now wonder if you’re actually covered for what you do?

We get it.

Liability coverage can feel like alphabet soup — but it’s the foundation of your business protection.

We’ll help you build a policy that truly fits what you do, covering:

• General Liability
   
• Contractors’ Professional Liability
   
• Tools & Equipment
   
• Pollution Liability
   
• Commercial Auto Exposures
   

Prefer handling things yourself? We can support that too — with self-serve quote options and same-day COIs for approved clients.

Supporting public entities — like schools, municipalities, and fire districts — is where Ascent began.

  After nearly a decade underwriting for Colorado’s governmental risk pools (CSDSIP and CIRSA), our founder moved into the brokerage world — and later launched Ascent in 2021 to merge public-sector insight with open-market freedom. 

Today, we serve:

• Towns, cities, and special districts
   
• Educational institutions and nonprofits
   
• Community service and safety organizations
   

We bring the heart of risk pooling together with the freedom of independent brokerage — helping you protect what matters most.

 Not every business needs a full-service brokerage relationship — and that’s okay.

For start-ups, solo operators, or quick one-off policies, our partners at Thimble and NEXT Insurance make it easy to quote and bind coverage online in minutes.
