Selecting an independent insurance broker is more than just choosing a provider—it’s about building a relationship with a partner who understands your business, your industry, and the community where you operate. At Wells Insurance, we’ve spent more than 100 years helping businesses across the Carolinas protect their people, assets, and future.
When it comes to insurance, local experience matters. Understanding the unique risks and regulatory landscape of our region is critical to securing the right coverage. But as businesses grow, their needs often extend beyond local borders. That’s why we offer the best of both worlds: the service and insight of a local independent brokerage, backed by the reach and resources of Assurex Global, the world’s largest privately held insurance brokerage group.
This means our clients benefit from the deep regional knowledge and personal relationships of a local firm, with the ability to scale coverage and services to meet national and even global needs as their business grows.
A business’s insurance needs are rarely one-size-fits-all—especially in a region like the Carolinas, where industries are shaped by coastal exposures, regulatory complexities, and evolving market conditions. A local independent broker provides an unmatched depth of understanding that national providers can’t replicate.
✔ Coastal & Weather-Related Risks: From hurricane exposure to flood regulations, we know how to help secure the right coverage for your needs while navigating complex policies like wind and flood insurance.
✔ Industry-Specific Know-How: Whether insuring a marine business, a construction project, a healthcare facility, or a professional services firm, we offer solutions that help you meet local compliance and coverage requirements.
✔ Regulatory & Compliance Support: As industry laws evolve, having a local partner who understands state and regional regulations helps ensure your business stays protected.
Because we live and work in this region, we can anticipate the challenges our clients may face and advocate for them every step of the way.
When you partner with a local independent broker, you’re not just securing insurance—you’re supporting a business that reinvests in the community. At Wells Insurance, we:
✔ Employ and train local professionals who understand the market.
✔ Support regional economic growth by keeping business decisions local.
✔ Contribute to community initiatives, local organizations, and educational programs.
The ripple effect of choosing local extends far beyond your business. It strengthens the region’s economy and ensures that businesses like yours have a thriving community to operate in for years to come.
While being local is our foundation, we recognize that businesses often grow beyond their initial footprint—expanding into new regions, scaling operations, or requiring specialized coverage that extends beyond a single market. That’s where our Assurex Global partnership becomes a key advantage.
✔ Nationwide and International Reach – Through Assurex Global, we have access to a network of partner brokers across the U.S. and worldwide. This means we can provide consistent service, coverage solutions, and risk management capability no matter where your business takes you.
✔ Market Leverage – As part of a top-tier global network, we bring the negotiating power and carrier relationships of a national brokerage, ensuring competitive pricing and coverage options.
✔ Custom Risk Management and Benefits Solutions – For businesses with complex operations, we offer specialized solutions across industries, from property and casualty programs to cybersecurity, professional liability, and employee benefits consulting.
This scalability allows us to serve both emerging businesses and large, multi-location companies—without losing the personal, high-touch service we’re known for.
One of the biggest benefits of working with a local independent broker is the ability to build a real relationship—one where your business isn’t just a policy number, but a priority.
✔ Direct Access to Agents and Advisors – No call centers, no endless hold times. Our team is accessible when you need us.
✔ Local Accountability – Because we live in the communities we serve, we take pride in ensuring our clients are properly covered and well-supported.
✔ Long-Term Partnership – As your business grows, we adjust your insurance strategies accordingly—whether that means managing local risk or scaling to new markets.
The decision to work with a local independent insurance broker doesn’t mean sacrificing scale or experience. It means choosing a partner who deeply understands your community, your industry, and your evolving needs—with the ability to provide solutions that grow with your business.
