Founded in 1986, Great Lakes Risk Management, Inc. specializes in the contract brokerage, plan management and consultation services needed in running an effective employee benefits program.

For over 25 years, Great Lakes Risk Management served their clients as one of the largest benefits-only agencies in the area.  Years of service has allowed our agency to build local relationships and an in-depth understanding of local trends.

Our role is to serve as your off-site employee benefits department, with a focus on strategic planning and education.  This includes acting as your representative when working with the vendors involved with your plan, and providing you with credible, non-biased, concise information so that you can make informed decisions regarding your benefits plan.

In 2008, Great Lakes Risk Management joined Brown & Brown. Inc., the 6th largest independent insurance intermediary organization in the United States and the 9th largest in the world.  Our alignment with this progressive company allows us to take advantage of best business practices, economies of scale and a depth of shared resources unmatched by most of our peers, while maintaining our local presence and operating in an independent manner complimenting the needs of employers in Ohio, Michigan and throughout the Midwest.
