about us
Fortify Insurance was created to meet the unique needs of businesses in the firearm and ammunition industry.
Our lead advisors, Tom Brenner and Andy Yost, are both certified instructors and risk specialists. They are passionate about helping firearm business owners and executives defend what they’ve built. They accomplish this by analyzing their clients’ risk profiles and then addressing concerns by developing a risk management plan specifically tailored to their needs.
We know that those in the firearm industry are unfairly targeted and face many challenges that other industries do not.
Unfortunately, those in this industry are more likely to be non-renewed by insurance carriers, have service providers cancel, and face intense pressure from politicians and activists.
We want to lighten your load where possible and provide consistency where inconsistency has been the norm. We are your advisor, your advocate, and your partner in risk management. And by choosing Fortify as your provider, you can reap the reward of gaining back more time, energy & more money to reinvest where it counts - your business! Plus, sleep better knowing you have a long-term partner on your side who’s not going to disappear at the first sign of trouble.
Don’t settle for anything less than an exceptional insurance experience! Give us a call now to set up your initial review. We look forward to learning more about you and your business.
How do we serve you better?
We want to learn what’s important to you
We take a consultative role, getting into the details of your business to learn all we can, and then apply insurance products to mitigate risks to your business, your income, and your people. We dig deep to learn about you and your tolerance for risk. We are NOT a transaction. We are a trusted partner.
We work with top-rated carriers who are capable of protecting your business
You’re not locked into just one option with us. We can find you the best fit for your risk profile and provide the protection you need, at a competitive rate.
Industry-specific expertise that makes a difference
As 2A advocates, our advisors know the specific risks that the firearm industry is facing and the insurance expertise to mitigate these risks. We have partnered with the NASGW and have strong relationships with firearm businesses across the country. Enjoy service from a team who knows how to get it right.
