Our Business Is Protecting Yours
Our Mission: To become the nation’s largest independent insurance partner by offering flexible, affordable coverage that evolves with our customers’ needs.

At Veracity Insurance, we aim to be a different kind of insurance partner — one that is free from outside investors, venture capital, or the pressures of a corporate parent. We answer to no board, no stockholders, and no outside interests. We answer only to the small business owners we serve. This independence allows us to stay focused solely on what matters most: providing uncompromised guidance, building flexible, affordable, and scalable policies, and helping businesses thrive.
Our mission is simple: to become the nation’s largest independent insurance partner by offering flexible, affordable coverage that evolves with our customers’ needs. We’re not here to chase profits for distant shareholders; we’re here to build lifelong partnerships with the businesses we protect. By understanding their unique risks and providing tailored policies, we empower business owners to focus on what they do best — growing their companies and improving their livelihoods.
Our customers’ success is our success, and we’re committed to being a trusted partner. No distractions. No outside influence — just a clear, unwavering dedication to protecting the dreams of the entrepreneurs and business owners who depend on us.

July 11, 2025I needed a portable policy as a yoga instructor. I found this company in an online search. Called and got details from them, was quite surprised at how affordable... Read More it would be. Then when I was ready to make my purchase, I called again. Was explained to me that everything was done online, I told the lady on the phone I didn't want to make this kind of purchase online with no guidance. She was so helpful and kind and patient! Walked me thru every page of the form and honestly didn't take long at all. Hope I never need to use the policy but nice to know I have it.
