About Us
Every day, Intrepid Direct helps business owners simplify and save on their insurance needs.
Our talented team is dedicated to providing a better insurance experience for business owners.
We began with a focus on franchise industries but have expanded into industries that benefit from our agent-free model. And, as always, we continue to be obsessed with helping make our customer’s businesses better.
Our Financial Strength
Saving money is important, but protecting your business is the most important thing.

Our Core Values
It’s not just what we expect from ourselves; it’s what we love about our customers.
Yes, we know insurance is only one part of a business’ operations and expenses, but everything counts and everyone matters. And guess what, we actually care about our customers and their employees and want them to succeed, which is why we always put them first and try to “walk in their shoes”.
