About Us

Company History

BCL's mission is to offer comprehensive commercial and personal lines insurance coverage at an affordable price. Our highly trained staff consistently delivers this invaluable service with the utmost courtesy and professionalism.

Our clients, some of whom have been with us since our inception, are testimony to our undivided commitment to provide you with the insurance you want as well as the time and effort you need.

Unlike an insurance agency that provides coverage from only one insurance carrier, at BCL we offer the products and services of numerous insurance carriers. When you work with BCL, we become your advocate, assuring that you receive the coverage most suitable for your needs. The exposure varies depending upon the industry you are in. Our talent is in assisting you in identifying those exposures and providing the appropriate insurance coverage.
