| AGENCY PROFILE |
Insurance Planning, Inc.
What makes your agency unique?
Insurance Planning may have grown into a sizeable agency and handle some very
large accounts, but we pride ourselves in keeping that small town ability to handle
accounts of all sizes. Our business encompasses a wide spectrum from oil production to
homeowners insurance, farming to boating, manufacturing & construction to personal
auto insurance, hospitals and schools. In short, if it involves insurance, Insurance
Planning, Inc. can handle it.
Insurance Planning, Inc. formed AG PRO Crop Insurance in 1997 which specializes in
Crop Hail, Multi-Peril Crop, and Farm Insurance. IPI Financial Services was formed
in 1999 to provide retirement plans, cafeteria plans, financial and estate planning, life
insurance, disability, health insurance, securities and AFLAC products. In addition, we
have employees dedicated to claims processing and a Loss Control Department, headed
by a Certified Safety Professional. Controlling the risks your business faces is important
in controlling business costs. We help our insureds control risks by offering on-site
safety training, safety inspections, loss prevention, video library, claims trend analysis
and phone consultation services.
