Why is personal insurance coverage important?

Personal insurance corresponds to almost every important part of your life, from your home to your automobile. Implementing personal insurance is important because it protects both you and your family members from potentially catastrophic scenarios like drastic medical bills or bodily injury from an accident. At Acentria, we encourage our clients to keep all policies under one roof, so that we may offer the proper coverage and premiums that fully envelope you. Full protection enables you to feel secure – and that provides priceless peace of mind.

Can I bundle personal and business insurance?

Absolutely. Bundling isn’t just limited to categories within personal insurance or business insurance. Business owners still need personal insurance policies – and vice versa. After taking time to get to know our clients’ situations and goals, we recommend which policies we’d bundle together for maximum protection. This specialized attention means that none of our quotes are cookie cutter; by providing custom solutions for all aspects of your life, we’re able to stay true to our promise of being a Dedicated Resource for All Things Insurance.
