Personal Insurance

Personal insurance helps cover the financial responsibility if you or a family member is at fault in an accident and people are injured or their property is damaged. It also protects your home, auto and other major items in the event of damage or loss. As your family size grows or you move toward retirement, McNish will be there to make sure your coverage evolves to match your needs.

Common examples of personal insurance:

  • Automobile insurance
  • Homeowners insurance
  • Marine insurance
  • Umbrella insurance
  • Recreational vehicle insurance

McNish understands that every individual and family has unique needs, and some types of personal coverage are not on this list. We’ll work with you to make sure you’re covered for everything that is important to you.

Employee Benefits

McNish offers employee benefits packages to our business customers as part of providing holistic coverage. We help you to secure quality group health and life insurance plans. We walk you through the ever-changing complexities of medical coverage, and seek the best value for your unique situation. Moreover, we serve as you and your employees’ liaison with the carrier. If you already have business coverage with us, please ask about how we can advise and assist with employee benefits, from presenting health and life options to counseling you on changing health insurance laws that might impact your business.

Attracting and keeping good employees
Business owners often offer life insurance and group health insurance as part of a larger benefits package to encourage good health maintenance and care for their employees. Employers with more than 50 full time equivalent employees must offer qualified and affordable health benefits or pay a tax penalty. More importantly, good employee benefits provide an incentive to recruit and retain your best employees.

Common group health product lines:

  • Health insurance
  • Short-term health insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • COBRA coverage
  • Short-term life insurance
  • Long-term life insurance

Other types of group health coverage, such as HSAs, HRAs and FSAs, are available for organizations. McNish Group professionals can make sure you and your employees are covered adequately.

Surety Bonding

Surety bonding service – handled promptly and efficiently – is a trademark of McNish. We have decades of experience handling all types of commercial and contract bonds of multiple sizes and complexity.

McNish understands the nuances of the contract language and what the bond guarantees. Whether you are a new contractor or a long-standing customer, we stand behind you, providing valuable professional advice, guidance and assurance so that you don’t have to worry.

We understand the importance of surety to the success of your business. Along with actively guiding you through every step of the bonding process, we also position your business for success by…

  • providing quick turnaround, understanding that response time for bonds is crucial
  • finding the right balance of value, speed and quality
  • working with you as a partner, with frequent communication and updates
  • making sure you’re prepared with needed documentation before we submit your request to the underwriter
  • aligning all we do with your business plan and goals, leveraging our knowledge of the bonding and insurance business to move your business forward

As a McNish customer, you will also benefit from our long-established relationships with national and regional carriers across the country. When a bond is needed, we can serve as your liaison and advocate – no matter what state you’re doing business in or what the current economic climate.

Financial Services

Individuals, families and businesses should secure life insurance plans as well as insurance for disability and long-term care. These policies are important for securing the future of those you love in the event of an unexpected health event. An unforseen injury, illness, or death could cause financial devastation for you or your family if you’re uninsured. McNish can review all of your financial plans and/or provide financial product recommendations; our independent status enables us to shape solutions that best meet your needs and that evolve with changes in your family or business.

  • Retirement planning

Other types of financial services are available for individuals and companies. As an independent agent, we’ll work with you to present the best options.
