Start-Up business Insurance

Protection at every stage.

In the start-up world, you’re faced with a myriad of tasks - fundraising, development, hiring, real estate, IP, and more. Sometimes this all takes place before the product or service is even launched. Proper start-up insurance can be the last thing on your mind as a new business owner. Christensen Group understands the unique dynamics startup founders face and the hustle involved to make a dream a reality.

Our expansive partnerships with underwriters across the industry allows us to understand the nature of start-ups and design custom insurance plans for start-ups that will protect you properly from the start and provide peace of mind.

Whether it’s Directors & Officers Liability, Errors & Omissions, or Cyber Liability Insurance and Data Privacy, our experienced team members will help you navigate what makes sense for your start-up business - what to buy, when to buy it, and most importantly, why.

Common start-up insurance questions

Having the right startup insurance helps protect you from the many unknowns that come with a new business venture, but that doesn't mean you should be over insured. Finding the right balance is a unique challenge that requires empathetic guidance about the many options and trade-offs for start-up coverage. With our deep experience helping young companies, we've seen that most start-ups have many of the same questions.

Do start-ups need insurance right away?

When do I need to provide health insurance?

Should I buy directors & officers liability insurance?

Are there any specific coverages that investors look for?

How to
get started.

We know that working with a new insurance agent can be overwhelming, so that's why we put so much emphasis on making sure you're getting value from the very first phone call.

1

Discovery

We’re sure you have a bunch of questions and hopefully we’re a good fit, but sometimes things don’t align - and that’s okay. A quick call is usually all we need to help both of us gain clarity around the prospects of working together. Take this first step.

2

Deep dive

Every business is unique — including yours — and there’s no “easy button” for giving proper guidance. We’ll take a deep dive into your business, your financials, and your exposures — at no cost to you — to provide the expert advice your business deserves.

3

Custom plan

Similar to prepping your house before selling, we create a custom plan to prep your business for securing the best insurance rates. We’ll work together to identify short, medium, and long-term action items that will help lock in the best rates now and for years to come.

Price & bind

Our thorough understanding of your business, combined with your custom plan, enable us to find the best policy and carrier fit for your business — at the best rates. We go to market - and go to bat - for you.
