What our clients are saying...
I thought I was too small to get a group plan because I am the only employee in my company. Then I was referred to Ken, and he built a plan that has all the benefits I want. I would recommend any small business to Ken for their group insurance needs!
– Nina C.
When we began the process of implementing a company group benefit plan Ken worked closely with us to ensure our plan would have all the benefits that were important to us. He showed us several options, explaining the similarities and differences, which made the final decision easy. Ken has become the person we turn to when we have a need or a question about insurance.
– Lina B. & Shawn G.
Two years ago our family business was facing a very large premium increase at renewal on our existing benefit plan. Ken reviewed our existing plan and designed a pooled benefit plan, with better benefits, including 100% prescription drugs, children’s orthodontics, and an employee critical illness benefit. Our monthly premiums are a lot lower, the renewals are affordable, and Ken is available whenever we need assistance.
– Lily S.
Do you need someone who will give you your best options when it comes to choosing an employee benefit program? I am the owner of small business and wanted something comprehensive and affordable for myself and my staff. Ken was able to tailor the best program for us within a modest budget. Ken is very friendly and reliable, always answering any question or concern. I highly recommend him.
– Christine S.
An important part of our staff compensation package is our excellent group benefits plan, which Ken designed with our company’s needs in mind – to attract and retain top people in our industry.
– George S.
In the more than 20 years I have known Ken he has demonstrated excellent knowledge of the insurance industry and a high level of professionalism. I have referred a number of my property and casualty clients to Ken for their employee benefit needs. His benefit plan solutions are well thought out and personalized, as he always acts with the client’s best interest at heart.

Premiums can be tax deductible for sole proprietors, partnerships, and corporations, while the benefits you receive are tax free.

Why should my company have a benefit plan?
