Small businesses
From a two-person shop to a 50-person company, a group plan usually costs each employee less than buying coverage alone.
2 to 50 employeesCarriers win you with low teaser rates, then raise them every renewal, betting you will not shop around. We compare every Texas carrier, decode the fine print, and handle the switch, so your small business pays what it actually should.
For most Texas small businesses, health coverage is one of the biggest line items on the books, and the system is built to keep it that way. Here is how carriers quietly overcharge you.
Carriers quote a low first-year premium to win your business, then raise it once you are locked in and unlikely to re-shop.
Each year your rate climbs, often 10 to 30 percent. Most owners just pay it because checking the market is a hassle.
Networks, deductibles, and plan tiers are complicated on purpose. When you cannot compare clearly, you cannot tell when you are overpaying.
Changing carriers feels risky and time-consuming, so businesses stay put even when a better, cheaper plan is sitting right there.
We are independent Texas brokers, not a single carrier. Our job is to find your business the best group health insurance plan and keep you off the overpaying treadmill.
Blue Cross Texas, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, side by side, with real numbers that hold up at renewal, not teaser rates.
We translate networks, deductibles, and fine print into a plain comparison so you see exactly what you are buying and what it costs.
We do the paperwork and coordinate dates with the carriers, so moving plans never disrupts your team or eats up your week.
Before your rate quietly climbs again, we re-shop the market for you, so your small business never gets stuck overpaying twice.
You do not need another sales rep. You need someone whose only job is making sure your business is on the right plan at the right price, year after year.
That is the whole point of working with an independent broker.
If you employ between two and fifty people in Texas, you qualify for a small-group plan. Small business health insurance is guaranteed-issue, so a carrier cannot turn your business away or charge more because of an employee's health history. We make sure you are not overpaying for it.

Done for you"We'd been with the same carrier six years and never knew we could do better. They found a plan that saved us about 18% and handled the whole switch."
"Our renewal jumped again and I was ready to just eat it. One call and they re-shopped everything. No fee, no hassle."
"Finally someone explained our options in plain English instead of insurance jargon. Made the decision easy."
Most Texas small groups land on one of these. We walk you through the trade-offs so the plan fits your budget and your team.
The most flexible option. Employees see in-network or out-of-network doctors with no referral. Higher premiums, fewer restrictions.
Lower premiums in exchange for staying in-network and using a primary doctor for referrals. A strong fit when cost control matters most.
A high-deductible plan paired with a tax-advantaged Health Savings Account. Lower monthly cost, with pre-tax dollars from you and your team.
There is no single sticker price for group health insurance. Your real cost comes down to a handful of factors, and the carrier is not going to volunteer the cheapest path. We will.
Most Texas employers contribute 50 to 70 percent of the employee premium. We show you exact numbers from several carriers before you decide anything.
Get real numbersThe Texas small-group market follows clear rules. Here is the short version, in plain language.
Texas defines a small group as an employer with 1 to 50 full-time-equivalent employees. Above 50, you move into the large-group market.
Carriers must offer your business a plan regardless of your team's health. No one gets denied for a pre-existing condition.
Unlike individual coverage, small-group plans are not locked to open enrollment. Start a plan, or switch one, when it suits your business.
We serve employers across the Lone Star State, from Houston and Dallas to Austin, San Antonio, and Fort Worth. Wherever your team is, we find the plan you should be paying for.
Many Texas businesses are sold a low first-year teaser rate, then watch it climb 10 to 30 percent at renewal once they are locked in. Because comparing carriers is confusing, most owners pay the increase instead of shopping it. That is exactly the gap we close.
It feels hard, which is why carriers count on you staying. We handle the paperwork, coordinate the start and end dates, and manage the carrier so switching does not fall on you.
No. We line up the new plan to start the day the old one ends, so your team keeps continuous coverage with no gap.
