Insure Us Ohio Partners with West Bend Insurance Company
As your independent insurance agency, we partner with West Bend Insurance Company to find coverage that fits your business and its unique exposures—not just a one-size-fits-all policy.
West Bend is a trusted property and casualty insurer headquartered in Wisconsin, with a history that dates back to 1894. They are committed to exceptional service and to building lasting relationships with their policyholders and agency partners. West Bend offers Specialty Lines commercial insurance products for the types of businesses that many other insurance companies will not cover, giving them a unique and important role in the marketplace.
If You Were Told to Find a West Bend Agent, You Found One
West Bend policies are offered exclusively through independent agents
who have been formally appointed by the carrier. This appointment is
granted and controlled by West Bend, making it a credential that
agencies must earn rather than claim on their own.
Insure Us Ohio holds a West Bend appointment through our Dublin office, allowing us to quote, write, and service West Bend business insurance policies for business owners throughout Columbus and Franklin County.
Is Your Business One of the Types Standard Insurance Carriers Turn Away?
Radon mitigation, pest control, non-profits, pet care, and fire suppression businesses carry risks that most standard policies were never built to handle. A few questions worth asking about your current coverage:
Radon mitigation
If a radon mitigation system fails or doesn't meet code, would your policy cover the cost to fix it?
Pest Control
Are your general liability limits aligned with what pest control claims actually cost today?
Non-Profits
If you're a non-profit that hosts events or fundraisers, does your coverage keep up with that exposure?
Pet Care
If a pet is injured in your care, or injures someone else, would your pet care business be covered?
Fire Suppression
If your fire suppression work affects someone else's property, do you know how your policy handles it?
If any of these gave you pause, it's worth a second look at what you're actually insuring. We work directly with
radon mitigation contractors and
pest control operators to close these exact gaps, and can review coverage for non-profits, pet care businesses, and fire suppression trades the same way.
