Industries
Industries We Serve
At Behnke, we can apply our vast experience and expertise to almost any industry. The following are just a few examples of the industries we currently serve.
Construction  
  Behnke has access to several insurance carriers who specialize in contractors and offer the coverage you need. Those include Kotecki in Illinois, automatic additional insured, aggregate limits per project, OCP, and builders’ risk. In addition, we will review bid specifications to determine if your insurance program complies.


Entertainment  
  Regardless of what type of entertainment you’re a part of, Behnke has the expertise necessary to develop a complete coverage policy.


Environmental  
  Liability suits arising out of environmental impairment can be an expensive occurrence. Behnke has carriers with the expertise and financial stability to protect against this situation.


Financial  
  Financial institutions have special needs that Behnke can protect. These include Directors’ and Officers Liability, excess-SIPC, and Crime.


Heathcare  
  Medical Malpractice coverage is a primary concern for the healthcare industry. We have several insurance carriers to choose from to offer the best program of price and coverage.


Hospitality  
  Whether you are a motel, hotel, restaurant, or bar, we can match your particular needs with the insurance carrier equipped to handle them best.


Manufacturing  
  From the small tool and die shop to a Fortune 50 company, Behnke offers fully insured programs, partially self-funded programs, and alternative risk programs. And if your business takes you beyond the United States, we can create an insurance program that fully protects you wherever you go.


Patents  
  Patents like other assets need protection. The risk to patents is not damage or loss but infringement. Any industry that has patents is a potential client as patent insurance provides a powerful deterrent to potential infringers. The underwriting of this type risk is very thorough and at this point in the market it is very difficult and costly to produce.


Professional  
  Behnke offers Professional Liability coverage for any lawsuit that alleges you made an error or omission in the conduct of your profession.


Public Entity  
  Tax supported organizations such as schools, colleges, and governmental bodies require special coverage including defense for lawsuits alleging wrongful decisions by their board. Behnke can provide the protection you need for complete coverage.


Retail  
  Whether you own a storefront on Main Street or a multi-state retail operation, we have the solution to your business insurance needs. If you have exposure from employee theft, jewelry floater, workers compensation, property, liability, auto or contingent business income exposures, we have the appropriate coverage and insurance companies to meet the insurance needs of your operation. It takes an expertise by both the agent and the insurance company to provide the proper coverage for the unique exposures. Let our agency help review your business in determining the right type of coverage.


Transportation  
  Behnke has the carriers and expertise for filed, non-filed, and short haul and long haul trucking operations. We also provide cargo coverage as well as other standard lines of coverage.


Utilities  
  Behnke can handle the large property values that are inherent in this industry as well as the alternative risk program for other lines.


Wholesale  
  Behnke has agreements with three national associations and one national buying group of distributors to capture the negotiating power of the group in the purchase of insurance.
