With more than 50 years in business, BHHC has grown from a regional organization to a national insurance group, offering insurance products from coast to coast. Relationships are the cornerstone of our culture, and we believe in doing the right thing. That means we invest in our business in every way possible to deliver on our mission and demonstrate that people are what power our success. Our commitment to financial strength and integrity means our customers can rest assured that we will be there when it counts.

Berkshire Hathaway Homestate Companies (BHHC) began as eight separately managed regional insurance companies across the United States. As originally chartered, each wrote primarily in its own “home state” – with some business in bordering states. The eight companies began as personal lines writers, and each had its local underwriting and management presence in their territories – a core strategy BHHC continues to utilize. Today, BHHC has expanded its footprint nationally, while remaining committed to our heritage of offering the personalized service of a local home state insurance company.
At BHHC we embrace diversity and foster an environment where our people can be their authentic selves. Our differences make us stronger and better together, which fosters a harmonious workplace – something we truly value. Together, we raise the bar by being curious, remaining customer-focused, and operating with integrity.
