We shop around to find the solution that fits the business, goals and individual needs of each client for long-term protection. As insurance packages and coverages change every year, we never consider this process finished. The relationships we build are ongoing, as we are always looking at the latest offerings in terms of price, coverage, and service that benefit your specific situation. BPJ is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan), which means our employees have a direct, personal, and very tangible stake in the service we provide our clients. Their success is built upon your success, motivating everyone who works at BPJ to find solutions that work and are cost-effective. We do this by comparing rates and plan details from insurance providers nationwide, supported by our partnership with Keystone Partners, in everything from bonds, employers’ benefits, home, renters, auto, business, life, and health.
