Business Insurance Built Around How Wisconsin Companies Actually Operate
Protect your business with local commercial insurance guidance for liability, property, vehicles, employees, and operational risks across Green Bay, De Pere, and surrounding communities.
Commercial Insurance Guidance That Feels Practical, Not Generic
Business owners across Green Bay and De Pere often feel frustrated trying to sort through commercial insurance language, carrier requirements, and coverage options that do not clearly explain what is actually protected. Many companies need more than a generic policy because their operations involve employees, vehicles, equipment, customer property, contractors, or industry-specific risks that change over time. Brian Van De Hey Insurance & Financial Planning helps businesses review commercial insurance through an independent-agency approach focused on practical guidance, local responsiveness, and coverage built around how companies actually operate. Whether you are opening a new business, reviewing liability concerns, managing certificates, or expanding operations along the Highway 41 corridor, local conversations help simplify the process before problems become expensive.
Business Owners Policy (BOP)
Many businesses need a starting point that combines property and liability coverage into one manageable package. A Business Owners Policy can help smaller businesses simplify coverage while addressing common risks tied to buildings, equipment, inventory, and customer interactions.
General Liability Insurance
Liability claims involving customer injuries, property damage, or completed work can create major financial pressure for businesses of all sizes. General liability coverage helps businesses prepare for unexpected situations that may arise during daily operations.
Commercial Property Insurance
Buildings, tools, inventory, furniture, electronics, and equipment all represent major investments that can be affected by storms, fire, theft, or other losses. Property coverage reviews help businesses understand what is protected and where additional considerations may exist.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Employee injuries create both operational and financial stress for businesses trying to stay productive while supporting workers properly. Workers’ compensation coverage helps businesses address workplace injury requirements while protecting employees and operations.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Businesses using vehicles for deliveries, service work, transportation, or daily operations often need protection beyond personal auto policies. Commercial auto insurance reviews help clarify vehicle usage, driver concerns, and liability exposure for Wisconsin businesses.
Cyber Liability Insurance
Even smaller local businesses now face risks involving hacked accounts, customer information exposure, ransomware events, and payment-system problems. Cyber liability reviews help businesses understand where digital risks may affect operations and customer trust.
Certificates of Insurance
Contractors, vendors, and service businesses often need certificates of insurance quickly for projects, landlords, or commercial agreements. Working with a local office helps simplify certificate requests and ongoing coverage documentation.
Professional Liability and Specialty Coverage
Different industries carry unique risks tied to advice, workmanship, contracts, customer property, or specialized equipment. Independent carrier access helps businesses review options that fit how they actually operate instead of relying on generic templates.
Industries and Business Types We Commonly Help
Contractors
Contractors often juggle vehicles, equipment, subcontractors, jobsite liability, and certificate requirements at the same time. Local guidance helps contractors review practical commercial coverage tied to how work is performed day to day.
Restaurants and Hospitality
Restaurants, bars, food-service businesses, and hospitality operations face unique risks involving property damage, customer injuries, liquor liability, and staffing concerns. Coverage reviews help hospitality businesses protect operations more confidently.

Retail and Professional Services
Retail stores, office-based businesses, consultants, and professional service providers all face different liability, cyber, and property concerns depending on how they interact with customers and manage information. Local guidance helps businesses review practical coverage without unnecessary complexity.
