WELCOME
We are six months into 2018 and it is still difficult to gauge
the direction the US economy is taking in the foreseeable
future. Increased volatility in the stock market. Threats of
trade wars. Significant changes to the tax laws. A shake-up
in the regulatory environment. And constant talk of labor
shortages and rising inflation. It is all beginning to create
some indecision in the minds of business owners — after we
started the year at a high point in business and consumer
confidence.
Although I can’t shed much light as to what the future holds,
I can say as a fellow business owner, we deal with a lot of the
same questions and uncertainties. However, we still remain
confident that the economy is headed in a positive direction,
even if there may be a few bumps along the way.
Where we can help shed some light is in the area of insurance.
In this summer 2018 issue of Nesbit Agencies Risk & Business
Magazine, we have included articles on hot topics like health
insurance and the Affordable Care Act, workers’ compensation
insurance, and workplace safety.
In each issue, we like to give some recognition to a few of our
clients. This issue is no different as you’ll find features on
clients involved in a diverse group of businesses: landscaping,
natural gas products distribution, and building restoration
and concrete contracting. At Nesbit, we have the expertise to
help a wide range of businesses with all their insurance needs.
