We Started as a Small Business, So We Get You.

2010: Our Start as Stratus

A small team of seasoned pros came together to create affordable specialty insurance for self-starters and small businesses — all available entirely online.

2016: The Launch of Insurance Canopy

As the digital age boomed, we started Insurance Canopy as a way for businesses to quickly and easily access niche, customizable insurance policies.

Today: You + Us = Better Business Protection

This is where our story meets yours. We’re cultivating a coverage community that helps you start, protect, and grow your entrepreneurial endeavors.

We Offer Ready-to-Buy Policies and Personalized Plans.

Quick, custom quotes are at our core. We’re a hybrid of a traditional insurance brokerage and a digital insurance company, making it easy to access the coverage you need.

In-House Team

We have an in-house team of certified insurance agents and underwriters who can create a policy unique to you.

Top-Rated, Tailored Coverage

We work with our trusted network of top-rated carriers to handcraft coverages that easily help you meet industry requirements.

Ready-to-Buy Policies

You can quote and buy a ready-made policy online in minutes for instant coverage with most of our offerings.

Personalized Plans

You can apply online and get a personalized quote from an agent within 24 hours if we don’t have a ready-made policy for you.

There are dozens of insurance companies out there but none like Insurance Canopy. If we can’t cover you, we do our best to find someone who can. That’s how much we care about getting your business insured!

We Believe Insurance Can Work for You.

1

Insurance Should Be Easy

Apply for a policy anytime, on any device with our easy online process. Enjoy low costs, easy-to-understand policies, and customizable options to fit your unique needs.

2

Insurance Should Be Accessible

Instantly browse, buy, or apply for a variety of specialty policies online. Many plans offer same-day coverage. If not, we’ll get you a custom quote within 24 hours.

3

Insurance Shouldn’t Hold You Back

Running a business is tough; your insurance shouldn’t be. Our policies meet industry standards, ensure contract compliance, and keep your business running with our quick claims process.

Trusted by Over 135,000 Businesses

No one daydreams about buying insurance (unless you’re us). But when the thought of coverage crosses your mind, go with someone you can count on.
