Independent Commercial Insurance Consulting for Complex Businesses
At MB Davis Group, we bring over 120 years of combined commercial insurance experience to the table, offering independent consulting to organizations operating in complex, risk-driven environments, including real estate, energy, financial services, manufacturing, digital infrastructure, chemicals, and more.
Our team helps companies navigate complex insurance landscapes, bringing clarity to how insurance programs support financial performance, contractual obligations, and long-term business stability.
Our approach goes beyond insurance management. We have successfully negotiated high-stakes transactions, managed catastrophic claims, and provided guidance through complex insurance audits and acquisition due diligence projects.
Our work focuses on evaluating how insurance programs perform under real-world conditions, not simply how they appear on paper.
One of the most important questions we help leadership answer is whether the insurance program would respond as expected in the event of a significant loss.
Through Strategic Insurance Design, we evaluate how insurance coverage, contractual risk transfer, and retained financial exposure work together within the context of each organization’s operations, risk profile, and appetite for risk.
Evaluating Insurance Beyond Coverage
Our recommendations have contributed to insurance programs protecting billions of dollars in assets across a wide range of industries.
When insurance policies are designed with risk management in mind, they become powerful tools that support businesses in times of need.
With clients investing from $500,000 to over $10 million annually in insurance premiums, we help leadership teams make informed decisions about how risk is transferred, retained, and managed across the business.
Navigating complex insurance programs can feel overwhelming, but our role is simple: helping organizations gain a clearer understanding of how their insurance supports the business and where improvements may be needed.
We work alongside leadership teams to evaluate what is in place, identify areas of concern, and strengthen the alignment between insurance, contractual obligations, and operational risk.
With our guidance, you’ll gain peace of mind knowing that your business is not just covered but prepared for what’s next.
