Big "I" Offers Myriad Employee Benefits
 As a Big "I" Markets agent, you're taking advantage of a key membership benefit, market access. If you're like approximately 2/3 of our membership, you also secure professional liability insurance for your agency through Big "I" Professional Liability. (If you're not already part of our program, we can certainly help you with that, too!) But there's another membership perk you might be missing out on: Big "I" Employee Benefits.
As a Big "I" member, you have access to Group Life, Group Short-Term and Long-Term Disability, Group Dental and Vision benefits for your agency. The Big "I" Employee Benefits are underwritten by The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America and administered by a dedicated service team just for Big "I" Members. The program offers various coverage options to meet the diverse needs of our members and also provides guaranteed issue with certain requirements being met.
