Storm Taylor, Office Manager

Discovery Capital Partners

The KBI Directors’ & Officers’ team are my go to insurance brokers for publicly traded companies that I am involved with. They are one of the few brokerages that passionately understand the junior public company space.

The explanation and comparison they provide makes it easy for our key executives to make an informed decision. I regularly recommend their services to other public companies in need of Directors’ & Officers’ insurance and other operational insurances.

Eddie King, Director

Having dealt with Nick and Travis for insurance needs for both small and medium-sized businesses it’s safe to say they know what they are doing and genuinely have their clients’ best interests at heart.

No matter how small an enquiry, Nick is always at the ready and has a solution back to you in no time. I’ve recommended them to others and have had the same feedback given to me in regards to their professionalism, availability to answer questions and the solutions they’ve provided.
