SO YOU OWN A CONTRACTING BUSINESS....WHO CARES!

SO YOU OWN A CONTRACTING BUSINESS....WHO CARES!



There are a lot of businesses floating about these days and in some industries, more so than others, there are far to many mediocre owners!

Oh, you own a contracting business......WHO CARES!

That's right I said it, and unfortunately a lot of other people feel the exact same!!!

It's not enough anymore to just own a business, there are a dime a dozen coming out of the woodworks every day. Just go stand at the ROC for a day and you will understand what I mean.


So, now what? Give up and go be something else? NO NO NO!

I am not saying anything about throwing in the towel, you just have to know what you are up against! There are a lot of contractors out there with a variety of trades, experience and innovation teeming at the top.

You need to step up your A Game and become one of the best.....by being one of the best in EVERYTHING YOU DO!

If you rest on your laurels even just a little, you could be opening up a door to someone else's victory dance. YOU ARE THE MVP, RIGHT?

In all truthfulness some companies really never make it beyond mediocre and for them that's ok! But, for JA KNAPP AGENCY we are looking for the best and the brightest and I hope you are too. As a contractor/owner you can be just a drop in the bucket or you can be the wave that crashes over the industry and brings it to a whole new level of excellence.

Make the choice, stand out!

Contracting Risk Management

Starting a contracting company can be grueling and difficult but depending on your expertise can also lead to success and fortune. But, what happens once your company is up and running, success beating on your door and expansion inevitable?

Let's start over how can you as a business owner protect your hard work and efforts to ensure works performed today do not void any future opportunities should something happen? Simple...let us do it for you.

JA Knapp was founded in 1988, with years of expertise and knowledge in construction and contracting. We are your number one resource for protection and risk management of your business. Yes, there are a million other insurance agencies, all of which provide great insurance coverage and products. So what makes us different? Well, knowledge for starters but it's more than that.

At JA Knapp we have a company mission: Educate, Communicate, Eliminate.

It is our duty to educate you along the way to ensure you understand coverage options and terms. After all who knows best about the needs of a company that the one who started it? Other agencies might insist they handle all information and retain reasons and information to ensure you keep coming back, but that can leave gaps in coverage that perhaps your agent did not think of.

Communication is key, in an economy that constantly reshapes and turns there is no room for error. We will strive to communicate with you to ensure you are taking the proper steps in protecting yourself and your investments, beyond getting insurance coverage. All we ask is that you keep us up to date on your direction and thoughts and we will offer our advice and service regardless of coverage choice.

Eliminating your risk is our job, we are more than an insurance brokerage we are your risk managers. What does that mean exactly? On top of offering great coverage from a number of A' Rated carriers we are going to help protect you from ever having a claim and being prepared if the inevitable happens. With programs involving employees managment, training and safety resources we will put a program together for you to ensure you are protecting yourself, your employees and your business.

Building a relationship is essential to risk managment and we hope that our partnerships can better serve you and show you the difference between other brokers and JA Knapp.

Why do we do it? Serving our communities and the businesses of America is our pride and lifeblood and we only hope that in doing so you will spread the word about JA Knapp and the service you experience!

Thank you for doing business with us and remember, any and all programs associated with JA Knapp and our clients are just a part of the service you can come to expect at no extra cost.

Looking toward the future...Together!
