In late May, SUNZ reported a 13-state footprint expansion with licensing added in Colorado, Hawaii, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

“For a unique nationwide PEO-focused carrier offering technologically advanced and client-centric services for workers’ compensation, we are honored to receive this Excellent Rating from AM Best! Our people, process, and technology have proven SUNZ Insurance is a powerful national brand with proven sustainability and profitability. This really validates our vision and mission to develop unique workers’ compensation programs that deliver innovative and customized solutions to protect businesses and their employees,” said Herrig.

Founded in 2005, SUNZ’s bedrock of writing high deductible workers’ compensation coverage utilizing its proprietary technology-driven platform, has continued to deliver higher-level claims management producing significantly better results to its clientele. With the addition of the new states, SUNZ Insurance is now licensed to write workers’ compensation policies in 29 states and offers workers’ compensation insurance coverage in all 50 states through its fronting partnership.

According to Herrig, this Excellent Rating, expanded licensing, and a significant investment from the Blackstone Group’s (NYSE: BX) Tactical Opportunities arm in late 2020 will continue to accelerate unprecedented growth to keep the SUNZ’s brand and unique position moving forward in the industry.

“This trident of successes marks the next milestone in our strategic growth. We employ over 350 people across the country, including our headquarters in downtown Bradenton. As SUNZ continues to grow, we will continue to unveil new client-focused initiatives, additional state licenses, larger corporate clients, and an outstanding level of quality assurance with a sharp focus on client retention,” said Herrig.
