About

Independent since 2009.

Montgomery Risk Partners exists to give small and mid-size businesses the kind of representation that large accounts take for granted.

Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco

Our Story

It started at a kitchen table in the Sunset.

In 2009, our founding brokers left a national firm because California's small and mid-size businesses were being sold policies, not advised on risk. The accounts were too small for the big shops to care about and too complex for a captive agent's single carrier to fit.

Seventeen years later we manage coverage for 2,400+ businesses from our office on Montgomery Street. The firm is owned by the people who work here, and a broker reads every policy before it goes out.

The model hasn't changed: hold appointments with enough carriers that we never have to force a fit, and keep the book small enough that every client has a broker who knows their business by name.

How We Operate

Four commitments, in writing.

Independence

We hold no ownership ties to any carrier and disclose every commission. Our only product is advice.

Plain English

Every proposal includes a one-page summary a non-insurance person can read.

Named accountability

One broker, one account manager, their direct lines. You will never explain your business to a stranger twice.

Renewal honesty

If staying put is your best option, we'll say so. If the market beats your incumbent, we'll show you both quotes side by side.

"They're the only vendor we have that I'd call a partner without air quotes. Carmen fought our property claim for five months and won. Our old broker would have forwarded us the denial letter."
