Pie Insurance has begun selling workers' compensation insurance to small businesses in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Washington, D.C.
“Through our innovative approach to workers' compensation insurance, Pie enables small businesses in our coverage area to take advantage of competitive rates, easy online processes, and up to 30 percent savings,” John Swigart, Pie's chief executive officer, said in a prepared statement.
Pie said that its workers' compensation coverage area includes the majority of the nation's small businesses.
With few exceptions, if an Arkansas small business has three or more employees, workers' compensation insurance coverage is required. Mr. Swigart advised, “Whenever a new workers' comp insurance provider enters the market, small business owners should get new insurance quotes to ensure that they're getting the best rate and discounts available.”
Mr. Swigart added that Oklahoma's small business owners benefit from having Pie offer workers' compensation insurance in the state, explaining, “Oklahoma is home to more than 347,000 small businesses. No matter their industry, we think they can appreciate our easy online experience.” Oklahoma small businesses with full-time or part-time employees are required to carry workers' compensation insurance, with few exceptions.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., Pie has made the District of Columbia its home since 2017. Though smaller than 70 square miles, the nation's capital houses more than 72,000 small businesses that employ 243,000 people. Workers' compensation insurance is mandatory for any company in the district with one or more employees. “As a startup based in Washington, D.C., we couldn't be more excited to serve other early-stage companies and small businesses located here with an easier buying process and competitive workers' comp rates,” Mr. Swigart said.
