EverPeak Insurance Recognized as Finalist for 2026 Specialty Intermediary Team of the Year Award
In a significant achievement within the insurance industry, EverPeak Insurance has been named a finalist for the Specialty Intermediary Team of the Year Award at the 2026 U.S. Business Insurance Awards. This recognition highlights the company’s rapid expansion and innovative approach to workers' compensation insurance.
Over the past two years, EverPeak's managing general agent (MGA) model has demonstrated remarkable growth, with its gross written premium increasing by more than 250% from the end of 2023 to 2025. This growth is attributed not only to their aggressive expansion strategy but also to their commitment to service excellence. They now support nearly 1,300 broker agencies nationwide, effectively addressing coverage for a wide range of business types.
The award finalists for the 2026 U.S. Insurance Awards are curated by a panel of over 100 risk managers from various major organizations across the country. EverPeak’s recognition reflects its position among industry leaders such as Bolton Street Programs, Brown Riding, CRC Group, and LIRG.
“We focus on blending technology with the human touch, allowing us to scale efficiently while maintaining strong connections in the small business sector,” says Kathy Kranz, President and CEO of EverPeak Insurance. This philosophy is at the core of their service model, referred to as 'Human Touch, Tech Power'.

The platform supports over 345 business types that encompass 320 unique class codes—one of the broadest offerings in the small commercial workers' compensation landscape. This extensive coverage is crucial as small businesses often face significant challenges in securing insurance due to historical market constraints.
Industry brokers are increasingly choosing EverPeak for several reasons. The automation of non-renewals and loss runs significantly frees up 1–2 hours of administrative workload per transaction, empowering brokers to manage more policies—an increase attributed to a 23% boost in policy management capacity. Furthermore, the company has vastly improved its response times, with 80% of inquiries answered in under 30 seconds, marking a 95% improvement over the typical industry benchmark of around 10 minutes.
Historically, securing workers' compensation for small commercial entities has been riddled with difficulties. Many brokers have struggled with slow, manual submission processes leading to broader coverage restrictions. EverPeak Insurance has effectively bridged this gap by integrating advanced automation with seasoned underwriting expertise, achieving rapid and comprehensive coverage without sacrificing service quality or ease of access.
From the end of 2023 to 2025, EverPeak not only grew its premiums but also witnessed exceptional growth in critical small business sectors, including:
