Connect Insurance Group

What Connect Insurance Group does

Connect Insurance Group is a private U.S. insurance brokerage founded in 2018 and headquartered in Dundee, Illinois, specializing in commercial insurance for small and midsize contractor businesses. The firm targets contractors across multiple construction trades, including roofing, concrete, framing, gutters, and siding, and places coverage across six core product lines: Workers' Compensation, General Liability, Commercial Auto, Property, Inland Marine, and Business Owner's Policy (BOP). The brokerage distributes exclusively through inside-sales channels via phone and web and is licensed to serve customers in all 50 U.S. states.

The company operates with a lean team of 1-10 employees led by founder and CEO Juan Urzua, alongside a Vice President and an Insurance Advisor. The reported book exceeds 1,600 customers and $30 million in premiums managed, supported by a 98% client retention rate. Revenue is generated through recurring commissions on insurance premiums placed with carrier partners, a model that scales with policy volume rather than transactional fees. There is no proprietary technology platform, mobile application, or public API disclosed; the operating model is consistent with a traditional relationship-driven brokerage that has adopted a centralized, remote-style inside-sales distribution motion rather than a technology-led insurtech approach.

The business has raised no outside funding rounds, executed no acquisitions or mergers, and holds no disclosed patents or technology assets. Its competitive position rests on vertical specialization in contractor insurance, cross-line product breadth, and a national inside-sales footprint rather than on technology differentiation or scale advantages.
