Where We've Been

The Hartford is one of the oldest, most financially stable insurers in the nation. Since its founding in 1810, The Hartford has built a Fortune 100 business out of insuring other businesses of all sizes -- against financial losses of all types.

While we've served a wide array of businesses throughout our long history, we've been particularly focused on providing small businesses with affordable and attractive insurance protection.

Established Leader in Small Business Insurance

The Hartford has long been considered one of the premier providers of insurance protection for small businesses. Back in the early 1980s, we pioneered the concept of customizing insurance coverages for small businesses. And since then, we've led the industry in tailoring packages to meet the needs of different types of business owners. Our commitment to providing small business owners with the big insurance advantages they deserve is evidenced by:

the wide variety of insurance programs we've tailored;
the broad range of insurance coverages we offer; and
the streamlined services we deliver.

Dedicated Service for Small Business Market

So that we can continue to provide responsive products and services, The Hartford established a separate unit that's dedicated exclusively to serving small business owners.

Trusted Insurance Partner for Over 300,000 Small Businesses

Given The Hartford's responsiveness to the needs of this market segment, it's no surprise that small business owners account for roughly one-third of The Hartford's commercial insurance premiums.  We look forward to counting you among our valued policyowners.
