An Agency That Knows Portland’s Small Businesses

Portland’s neighborhood business districts are full of the kinds of businesses we insure every day. There are food carts and taquerias on 82nd Avenue and in Cully, vendors at places like the Portland Mercado in Foster-Powell, restaurants and bars across the east side, and contractors, cleaners and delivery drivers who cover the whole metro.

Big-city insurance shopping can feel impersonal. With us, you get one agent who knows your business, shops several carriers on your behalf, and picks up the phone when you have a claim.

FAQ

Portland Insurance Questions

Do you serve all of Portland?

Yes. We work with clients throughout Portland, from North and Northeast to Southeast, East Portland and the west side. Most of our work is done by phone, video or WhatsApp, and our Tualatin office is an easy drive down I-5.

I run a food cart. What insurance do I need?

Most carts need general liability and coverage for equipment and inventory. Many pod owners also require a certificate naming them as additional insured. If your cart moves, you’ll also need commercial auto.

What is liquor liability and do I need it?

It covers claims if someone you served alcohol to causes injury or damage. If your restaurant or bar serves alcohol, it’s one of the most important coverages you can carry, and many landlords require it.

Should I add earthquake coverage to my Portland home?

Standard homeowners and renters policies typically exclude earthquake damage. It’s an optional add-on, and we can show you what it costs so you can decide.

Can you work with me entirely in Spanish?

Yes. From the first quote to a claim, we can handle everything in Spanish.
