Protect the wellbeing, reputation and integrity of your business
Truly safeguarding your business means going beyond standard insurance coverage to implement strategies and solutions that properly assess and address your risk. Alera Group works closely with you to effectively mitigate your risks, control your costs and protect your bottom line, so you can concentrate on doing what you do best — growing your business.
Your partner in proactive risk management
Alera Group’s extensive experience, industry-specific knowledge and global network allow you to assess and address your unique business risks.
Actuarial services

Alera Group Coverage GPS
Gain control over your insurance program and simplify the renewal process with Alera Group Coverage GPS. This unique, one-page snapshot of your current insurance program allows you to easily identify your in-force insurance coverage as well as identify coverage gaps and areas for improvement.
Alternative risk solutions
Unique or complex risks are often difficult to place with traditional insurance. Alera Group can customize contracts, structures and solutions provided by insurance and reinsurance companies to help you finance or transfer that risk in a non-traditional way.
AuditRate™
More than 40% of all insurance policies are based on incorrect classification codes, often leading to larger-than-necessary premium payments. Our AuditRate™ team has the knowledge and expertise to help you uncover (and recover) premium overpayments.
Benchmarking and data analytics
Knowledge is power. That is what you get with Alera Group’s benchmarking and data analytics. With our proprietary insights into industry-specific data, you can take your enterprise risk management to the next level with smarter strategic planning and informed decision-making.
Captive feasibility studies
The use of captives — a form of self-insurance for businesses — has increased significantly over the past two decades. Alera Group can help you determine whether a captive solution is the right fit for you.
Captive management
Captives often start out simple, with common coverages, but can expand into a funding mechanism for an organization’s other lines of insurance. Alera Group can help you ensure that your captive solution continues to be the right fit for you as your company grows and evolves.
Claims advocacy and management
Low premiums and great coverage don’t mean much without superior claims resolution. Our experienced claims staff ensure that your claim is resolved quickly and fairly, protecting your customers and your bottom line.
Environmental exposure evaluation
When it comes to environmental exposures, your business needs comprehensive insurance coverage to protect not only your bottom line but also your brand and reputation. Our team has over 25 years of experience assessing environmental exposures and finding insurance carriers to take on the risk.
Experience Modifier review
Your Experience Modifier serves as a Workers’ Compensation report card for your business, which can significantly impact your premiums, and ultimately your ability to win business. Alera Group helps you understand and manage your Experience Modifier to protect your profits and reduce your Workers’ Compensation costs by as much as 30%.
