Commercial Property
From large office buildings, hotels and retail outlets to lodges, residential habitational, manufacturing locations and cannabis facilities, we have a diverse portfolio of products and services designed to protect your assets and cash flow for years to come.
Transportation
From trucking, public transportation, and tour guides, to marine transportation, ocean cargo, and air travel, each company has very unique operations and varying appetites of risk which require a fluid insurance program.
Hospitality
The risks for restaurants, bars, hotels, and others in hospitality are numerous. Failure rates are among the highest of all businesses in this sector, and managing risks and protecting assets is a component of success.
Assisted Living
The risk management needs of each home, while sharing many exposures, is still unique and demands a risk management approach capable of protecting the caregivers, and allowing them to do what they do best and care for others.
Auto Services
Auto dealers and garages have unique exposures that vary for each company. What isn’t unique is the need to manage those risks aggressively. From the premise, product, and people exposures, to contractual risks, it’s critical to protect your assets.
Schools & Education
Whether you’re running a private school, providing educational consulting, running a camp with an educational component, or offering tutoring, there are risks in education, notably the exposure of children in most cases, that demand a vigorous risk management program backed by the right insurance program.
Oil & Gas
For the state of Alaska, oil and gas continue to be key industries supporting the state economy, and providing tens of thousands of jobs, not through just direct employment but in contracted services. Oilfield and Gas support spans from consultants, to rig operators, to trucking and transportation, to construction, to food services to habitational and everything in between.
Guides & Tourism
There is no disputing the importance of tourism to the State of Alaska, and business owners across the state who benefit from the $ 2.42 billion in direct annual visitor spending. Roughly 40,000 Alaskans have jobs as a result, earning $ 1.3 billion in labor income.
