Fee-only, fractional risk management
Know if you're overpaying.Know what's missing.
Insurance is a six- or seven-figure decision, and most companies make it with only one side of the table advising them. We fix that: a fee-only, fractional risk management team. You pay us, no carrier does, and our only job is getting your coverage right and your cost of risk down.
You don't have to change brokers — only how you buy. Keep whoever you work with today. Your incumbent competes in the process like everyone else, and keeps the account if they win it based on your criteria.

1How we count these
All MetRisk Services fee-only clients over the last 10 years, including accounts where we found little, from the outcomes report we prepare for each account every year. Outcomes are claim recoveries, experience-mod reductions, dividends, and premium reductions against the prior year's premium. $3.20 is those outcomes divided by the fees the same clients paid MetRisk.

The problem
The renewal process is broken by design.
Four structural failures, baked into how insurance is bought. It doesn't need to be this way.
Most CFOs rely on their broker's recommendation without the internal expertise to challenge it. Trust-based purchasing with no way to stress-test the program for price, coverage terms, or structure, and hoping the coverage triggers when you submit a claim. Hope is not a system or a strategy.
You send your policy and loss runs to three brokers and ask for quotes. The result is noise, lost time, and staying with the incumbent because it was the easiest path — not the best one.
Decisions get made on price — the premium and the limits, because those are the two numbers printed on the page, often without knowing what critical coverage was traded for the lower one. Cost, your total cost of risk, is a different figure: the premium, plus what you retain, plus everything the program fails to pay when a claim lands. That education is very expensive, if the business survives it.
You wouldn't bid a construction project without a scope of work: a blueprint. But insurance gets “shopped” by distributing policies to multiple brokers with no spec — so the quotes come back incomparable.
What it costs
You never find out whether your program was designed properly until a claim hits.

All three are true. None of these are exotic. They're ordinary exposures with ordinary answers — provided someone asks the question before the claim instead of after. That's the entire job, and the part almost nobody gets paid to do.

Business Insurance Shouldn't be Your Part-time Job.
What changes for you.
You'll never sit in a renewal meeting unprepared again.
We identify avoidable costs and opportunities to improve value. You get prioritized recommendations that account for your total cost of risk: the premium and the financial exposure your business retains.
We assess the coverage requirements that can affect your eligibility for new work. For construction businesses, that also means addressing the claims and experience-mod issues that can affect prequalification.
About 15 minutes to start, 3–4 hours across the whole engagement. We collect the loss runs, coordinate with the brokers, and organize the renewal options into clear recommendations. You approve the plan — then get back to your business.
The coverage is verified before a claim tests it — every requirement written down, every gap closed or knowingly kept, live in your Risk Rocket 365 portal rather than buried in a binder.
We document the options considered, the trade-offs, and the reasoning behind our recommendations. You can explain your insurance decisions to owners, boards, or lenders with a clear record to support them.
