Commercial Insurance Coverage for Knoxville Businesses

Every business faces different risks. Restaurants worry about customer injuries and equipment breakdowns. Contractors need coverage for job sites and employee injuries. Retail stores want protection from theft and liability claims.

We write general liability, commercial property, workers compensation, and commercial auto policies. Our carriers include both national companies and regional insurers who specialize in Tennessee businesses. This gives us options to find coverage that fits your specific industry and budget.

Why Choose an Independent Agent

When you buy insurance directly from one company, you only see their rates and coverage options. Independent agents like us can quote multiple companies at once. This saves you time and often saves you money.

We also stay with you after the sale. If your business grows or changes, we adjust your coverage. If you have a claim, we help you through the process. Our job is to make insurance simple so you can focus on running your business.

I'm a property manager with 16 large shopping centers across TN. It's been so hard to find someone who can actually fit our needs. Ty found our agent who was able to put us on a master policy. Finally!!!

Emily R., Maryville, TN

My Husband and I have an AirBnb business. We had been dropped from our previous provider without a claim. Ty put us in touch with an agent who had AirBnb's of her own and understood our situation. We got excellent coverage and even made a new friend!
