Background

The parent company of Community Insurance Corporation, the Wisconsin County Mutual Insurance Corporation, (County Mutual) was created in response to a crisis in the commercial insurance industry in 1985. Counties were forced to purchase insurance from a limited commercial market with reduced levels of protection and increased costs.

In 1988, the County Mutual began operation with 24 owner counties. Today over 75 percent of counties in the state belong to the County Mutual, which carries an A.M. Best Rating of A-.

"Similar to the commercial crisis counties faced back in the 80's, local governments and school districts are now facing similar problems with many companies getting out of the commercial market all together. The time is ripe for another player in the commercial insurance market and Community Insurance Corporation stands poised to make substantial market impacts to local governments and school districts."
