Our agency has always believed in the necessity for income-based crop relief, and we’ve been involved with farm income protection programs for decades. Together with our clients and carriers, Waldo Agencies has played a part in bringing revolutionary insurance products to the growers in this community.

Many farmers may not know which insurance products are right for them, which products they’re qualified for, or whether support might be available. Our agents have experience navigating the often-complicated world of crop insurance. We count it a privilege to provide the farm community with access to protection against multiple types of risk – be they crop or market-related.

Captive Insurance companies are considered by many to be a forward-looking method of insuring a business, with potential for serious long-term benefit. Our consultants can provide the education, tools and guidance necessary to execute the Captive strategy.

Employee benefits are not conducted in vacuum. Benefits impact all areas of your business. In our process, we discover the purpose of your plan. Why do you provide benefits? To improve:

• Employee turn-over
• Employee productivity
• Employee job satisfaction
• Absenteeism
• Employee health and wellness

Good benefits gives you control over the areas you actually can control. That puts you or your company at a different level with insurances companies because you have put processes in place that are reducing exposure. In short, you became a partner with the insurance company in reducing over-all benefits costs.

Risk Management and Planning

We have discovered that from 30% - 50% of the risks businesses face are insurable in the commercial insurance market.

We have a unique, licensed process that helps our clients identify the risk issues they face in their day-to- day businesses. The primary purpose of our process is to narrow down the most urgent issues that you need to work on. The ultimate goal is to produce a plan that helps reduce the total cost of risk - and makes you attractive to insurance companies. In addition, our process helps you control the factors that are driving the total cost of risk, including the cost of insurance.

Our process reviews 21 specific areas of your business, including critical issues such as:

• Employee turn-over ratios
• Customer satisfaction
• Safety incidences
• Unknown liability issues
• Business continuity and disaster recovery issues

How does a business address the risks it can’t insure? Often, our professionals will uncover these issues as a result of exposing your insurable liabilities. Our philosophy is to deal with those risks as well, rather than ignore them. Sometimes these issues are familiar, but uncomfortable to think about, unquantifiable, or are seen as an unavoidable cost of doing business.
