Mission Statement:

BCV is passionate about exceeding the expectations of each client 100% of the time by providing the most professional and ethical risk management services, creating unique and reasonable insurance coverage solutions, and seeking the broadest coverage available at a competitive price to bring value to our clients.

Business Philosophy:

The BCV founding partners built the firm on the principles of client service, integrity, and technical expertise. Today, BCV remains committed to these same values. The firm has grown steadily over the years but remains small enough to be responsive to our client´s needs and to maintain control over service quality. We continue to find new ways to provide value added services to our clientele.

Staff Credentials

Every member of our staff is a licensed Property and Casualty agent in the State of California. We expect that each phone call or client visit be greeted with the knowledge and experience of a licensed professional. In addition, many staff members hold professional designations and/or higher education degrees. Continuing education is an important part of the BCV philosophy, and our staff is never limited to the classes only required by the State. We also encourage the staff to attend writing, computer, leadership, management, and organizational training seminars to be as well-rounded professionally as possible. Each member of our staff is confident and capable.

As a business, we understand the balance companies must strike between high level protection and cost containment. Cost is important to all of us, but at the end of the day coverage is the most critical component. We believe it is not necessary to sacrifice solid protection to achieve cost savings. BCV uses an "holistic" approach to managing risk, which we believe brings greater value to our clients. Our goal is to help each client prosper through effective management of risk.

Our goal for the BCV client is to obtain the best possible protection at the most competitive cost structure. We then combine that approach with BCV"s best practices in risk management. Only by assessing and managing risk on the front end of this process can you address the challenges of cost and coverage quality. We aim to provide this type of "holistic" approach to risk and insurance.

BCV provides a rich portfolio of services beyond that which most agencies provide because we believe in our "holistic" approach to risk management. BCV seeks to develop a close working relationship with our client. Our company culture is to exceed a client"s expectations and to provide regular support of your operations. Therefore, we ask our clients to see us as an extension of their own staff. If you think we can help, we want you to call on us.
