TIA Group

What TIA Group does

TIA Group is an independent insurance broker headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, operating as a privately held LLC. The company serves three primary customer segments — employers and businesses seeking benefits packages, commercial businesses requiring commercial coverage, and individuals and families needing personal lines protection — delivering solutions across Employee Benefits, Commercial Insurance, Personal Insurance, and PEO Evaluation services on a nationwide basis with a local service platform.

The company's core revenue model is insurance brokerage commissions earned from carriers for placing and renewing coverage, supplemented by advisory work on PEO evaluation. TIA Group does not build proprietary insurance technology; instead, its operating stack is assembled from third-party client tools, including Employee Navigator for benefits administration, InsurLink (Vertafore) for self-service portal access, Think HR for HR risk management, and ePay (ePayPolicy) for payment processing. Claims handling is supported through dedicated web portals for auto, property, and other claim types. There is no proprietary AI, no native mobile app, no disclosed API, and no documented data flywheel.

Go-to-market is sales-led through licensed insurance professionals, with content marketing (blog posts covering ARPA/COBRA, workers' comp, commercial auto rates, OSHA standards, mental health) serving as a top-of-funnel channel. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company reports no funding rounds, no acquisitions, no parent company, no disclosed management team, and no certifications or compliance credentials beyond standard broker licensing implied by operations.

Broad incumbents

• Hub International: Large North American insurance brokerage offering commercial, personal, and employee benefits solutions. Comparable independent broker model serving middle-market clients, though significantly larger in headcount and geographic footprint.
• USI Insurance Services: Middle-market-focused insurance brokerage and consulting firm. Comparable in target customer segment and multi-line offerings (commercial, employee benefits, personal), with substantially greater scale and proprietary consulting programs.
• Marsh McLennan (Marsh): Global professional services firm with Marsh as its insurance brokerage arm. Comparable as a multi-line insurance broker and risk advisor, though with enterprise-scale capabilities and proprietary analytics TIA Group cannot match.
• Brown & Brown: Large publicly-traded insurance brokerage and risk management firm. Comparable as a multi-line independent broker across commercial, personal, and employee benefits, but operating at vastly greater scale and with national specialty practices.
• Lockton: World's largest privately-held insurance brokerage. Comparable independent broker model with multi-line offerings, but with global footprint and deep specialty expertise well beyond TIA Group's scale.
• Arthur J. Gallagher: Global insurance brokerage and risk management services firm. Directly comparable multi-line brokerage across commercial, employee benefits, and personal lines, but with much broader scale, specialty capabilities, and international reach than TIA Group.
• Aon: Global professional services firm offering risk, insurance brokerage, and human capital solutions. Comparable insurance brokerage and employee benefits consulting capabilities, though at vastly greater scale and with proprietary analytics platforms.
• Acrisure: Rapidly growing fintech-enabled insurance brokerage. Comparable multi-line independent broker model, though Acrisure has pursued aggressive M&A and tech-enabled distribution that gives it scale and capabilities well beyond TIA Group.
