Our Story
Octo Insurance Brokers was founded by Domenico and Richard, a father-and-son team with over 40 years of experience in the insurance industry in response to what they could see happening within the sector.
Independent brokers were being sold in large numbers to national firms, and clients were losing the levels of customer care and diligent service that they valued so much.
Drawing on their large brokerage roots, Domenico and Richard set out to create an environment where privately held businesses could access the deep product knowledge and expertise found at major agencies, delivered within a more responsive and personable framework.
At first, our offerings were limited to commercial insurance services. Then, as clients responded favorably to our personal and tailored service, they began to ask for more. As a result, we expanded to offer a full range of risk management solutions including personal insurance, warranties, surety bonds and claims management.
Today, Octo Insurance Brokers serves a growing roster of regional, national, and international clients. Private businesses and successful individuals alike continue to turn to us for our unique balance of in-depth product knowledge and client-centric service.
Relationships are the foundation of our business. A dedicated Advisor acts as the central point of contact for each client, handling all aspects of the account from initial meetings, to claims processing, to ongoing service and policy renewal. By taking a personal interest in our clients’ business, our Advisors can develop a deeper understanding of their goals, and find smarter, more effective ways to protect the business and lifestyle they’ve built.
When clients come to our agency, they soon notice a difference. We understand their priorities as business owners. We empathize with the concerns, pitfalls and risks they face. Maybe that’s because in setting out to serve thriving, privately held businesses, we became one ourselves. And as we grew, we learned first-hand the importance of surrounding yourself with people who are the embodiment of integrity, service and trust. That’s what we value as a company — and that’s what we provide for our clients.
