Our goal is to be the best service provider in the industry, not simply the best insurance broker. Voted as a Salt Lake Tribune Top Place to Work in Utah for five years and counting, we pride ourselves on being different than the competition. We believe that happy employees = happy clients. Diversified serves more venture backed, IPO and public companies in the intermountain west than any other broker. Current count is over 200 growth and public company clients, including 87% of the unicorn companies in Utah, 7 of the top 10 fastest growing companies [according to Utah Business], and 23 out of the last 29 IPOs in the state. In addition, we are the largest provider of Directors and Officers Liability and Cyber Insurance in Utah. Our entire service model and focus is on managing the risk of growth companies. While we have strong depth in all areas of Property & Casualty insurance from Captives to Workers’ Compensation, we are best known for our expertise, specialization and unique resources in the areas of Cyber Insurance, Directors & Officers Liability Insurance, Errors & Omissions / Professional Liability, Employee Health Benefits and Workers’ Compensation.
