Plastridge Insurance has been helping protect South Florida families and businesses since 1919.
They are a family-owned, independent insurance agency that began with a simple idea: people deserve trusted advice from someone who genuinely cares about their future.
Amos Plastridge started Plastridge Insurance on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach over 107 years ago, which means they have been around long enough to witness a few hurricanes, a few economic ups and downs, and more than a few changes in the insurance industry.
Over the years, they have grown from a local agency into being in the Top 100 Independently Owned Property & Casualty agencies in the US. While technology and insurance products have evolved dramatically, their core philosophy hasn’t changed: treat people the right way, provide honest guidance, and always put clients first.
“We’ve embraced innovation, but we’ve never lost the personal touch that helped build our reputation in the first place,” said Ryan S. Brown, AAI, Plastridge In-surance Small Business Team Leader.
Business owners and homeowners all have insurance needs, and they can differ in many ways. They help companies protect their employees, property, operations, and long-term success. For individuals and families, they provide coverage for homes, automobiles, high-value assets, boats, umbrella liability, and more.
“But what we really provide is peace of mind. Anyone can sell an insurance policy. Our job is to help clients understand their risks, make informed decisions, and feel confident that they’re properly protected.
What truly sets Plastridge apart is our people. Insurance policies can look very similar on paper, but the experience you have with the team behind them makes all the difference,” said Brown.
In a world where it’s becoming harder to reach a real person, they are proud to have a team that answers the phone, responds when you need them, and truly cares about doing what’s right for their clients. “At the end of the day, our success isn’t built on insurance products. It’s built on the trust, experience, and dedication of the people who serve our clients every day,” says Ryan.
“Whether we’re helping a business navigate growth, or a client manage a claim after a difficult loss, our goal is always the same: provide exceptional service, trusted guidance, and a little peace of mind along the way. We are advisors, advocates, and occasionally translators when insurance language starts sounding like its own foreign language,” he added.
“For small business owners, my biggest piece of ad-vice is to look beyond the price and focus on the protec-tion you’re actually getting,” he said. “The cheapest pol-icy isn’t always the best value if it leaves gaps that could create significant financial challenges after a claim.”
“Your insurance program should evolve as your business grows. Changes such as hiring employees, purchasing new equipment, expanding services, signing larger contracts, or increasing revenue can all impact your insurance needs. That’s why it’s important to review your coverage annually with a trusted insurance advisor who understands your business and industry.”
One of the most overlooked coverages today is Cyber Liability Insurance, especially for small businesses. Many business owners assume cybercriminals only target large corporations, but in reality, small businesses are often more vulnerable because they may not have the same level of cybersecurity resources in place.
Cyber Liability Insurance helps businesses recover from these events by providing coverage for expenses such as data recovery, notification costs, legal defense, regulatory fines, and even lost income due to downtime. As businesses become increasingly dependent on technology, cloud-based systems, and online transactions, cyber coverage has become an important part of a well-rounded insurance program, regardless of a company’s size.
“The reality is that small businesses face many risks, and having the proper protection in place can make all the difference,” said Brown.
