What SullivanCurtisMonroe Insurance Services does

SullivanCurtisMonroe Insurance Services (SCM) is a privately held, regionally focused insurance brokerage and risk management firm founded in 1931 and headquartered at 2010 Main Street, Suite 700, Irvine, California. The firm operates four Southern California offices (Irvine, Los Angeles, Corona, Costa Mesa) with nearly 200 employees, holding California Insurance License 0E83670. SCM serves mid-market businesses, growing companies, and high-net-worth individuals across more than eight industry verticals including automotive, environmental, manufacturers & distributors, restaurant, construction, food & beverage, real estate, plus specialty programs for marine/yacht clubs. The firm is locally managed with no corporate parent, no PE or institutional investor ownership, and no public listing.

The company's service architecture is organized into four lines: Business Solutions (risk management, claims handling, safety culture, alternative risk), People Solutions/Employee Benefits (benefits administration, HR consulting, compliance, health risk consulting), Personal Risk Solutions (homeowners, auto, yachts, valuables, umbrella, personal security), and Industry Solutions (vertical-specific coverage). Proprietary offerings include "The Dealership Advantage," an A-rated carrier program exclusive to auto dealers, plus surety bonding services and environmental coverage. Underlying technology comprises a 4-Step Risk Management Process (Analyze, Design, Engage, Measure), customized analytic tools, and a web-based risk management platform; the client-facing SCM Risk Management Center is hosted on a third-party platform (lossfreerx.com, powered by Succeed). SCM has no public API, no AI/ML capabilities, and no developer-facing platform.

SCM's business model is commission-based brokerage: the firm acts as intermediary between clients and carriers, earning transaction commissions on placed premium. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to client risk profiles with annual billing cadence, and is not publicly disclosed. GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven, executed through ~200 professionals across four offices and reinforced by active industry association memberships (California Restaurant Association, AGC, ABC, Southern California Contractors Association, etc.) and a sustained Best Places to Work recognition record (Business Insurance 2021-2025, Orange County Business Journal 2023-2025). Growth has been delivered through two disclosed acquisitions: Stan Burns Insurance Services (Long Beach, November 2021) and Clarke Marine Garvey Insurance Services (Costa Mesa, January 2025).
