INSURANCE POLICY OPTIONS

We offer a variety of insurance products to ensure you'll be protected from the unique risks you face in life.

Home Insurance

Home Insurance

Home insurance covers hazards that you face as a homeowner. These accidents can be expensive and stressful. We'll make sure you don't have to deal with these stressful issues alone by helping you obtain the coverage you need.

Auto Insurance

Auto Insurance

Not all car insurance is created equal. We'll help make sure you are properly covered in cased of an accident - from bodily injury to uninsured motorist coverage, we'll make sure you're prepared for the unexpected.

More Commercial Insurance

Small Business Insurance

Every day, you work hard to ensure that your business stays up and running. That’s why it’s important to make sure your commercial property is protected because accidents do happen on occasion, and the last thing you want to experience is being out of commission and under the wrong policy.

Hurricane Insurance for South Carolina Homes

Flood & Hurricane Insurance

Charleston-area homes and businesses face real flood risk from storm surge, heavy rain, and named storms. We help you navigate FEMA flood zones, secure NFIP or private flood coverage, and understand hurricane deductibles so you're not caught off guard.

Worker's Compensation Insurance

Workers' Compensation Insurance

South Carolina law requires most employers with 4+ employees to carry workers' comp. We help contractors, restaurants, retailers, and offices get compliant coverage that protects both your team and your business from costly claims.

Personal Umbrella Insurance

Personal Umbrella Insurance

One accident is all it takes to exceed your home or auto liability limits. An umbrella policy adds $1M+ in extra protection over your existing policies, covering lawsuits, dog bites, and liability from boats, golf carts, and rental property.
