About BKI Risk Management

Brian Kane Insurance Agencies Ltd was incorporated in 1981 by Brian Kane. Brian came from a lengthy insurance background and began to struggle with the industry segregating accounts between Large Commercial and what was termed ‘Mid-Market’ with the service levels between the two being drastically different. Brian turned his struggles into opportunity and focused on companies that wanted to grow and not companies who had already reached their peak. Many of the original Brian Kane Insurance clients are still our clients today and have grown tremendously. We are a sophisticated and specialized insurance provider while maintaining a personalized approach to service which separates us from our competition. Our vision is not to be the largest, but rather to be the best.

In 1996 Tim Kane joined the organization and with the evolution of the ownership, came a new Brian Kane Insurance. Our roots have always been in Mid-Market Commercial Insurance, specializing in Aviation and Energy related business however with an expanding team of professionals, our Niches began to expand. By focusing in selected areas of the insurance industry, we are able to provide market access and risk management programs that are designed specifically for your company by professionals who understand your business.

July 2005 we embraced our talents in the Commercial Insurance area. We acquired a book of business that fit well within our organization. It was a boutique type brokerage with some interesting Niches that were different from ours but developed in the same fashion. We changed our name to BKI Risk Management and our focus was to take the commodity (insurance) out of the name and take on the role of a Trusted Advisor rather than a risk placement service. BKI has evolved from a multi market Energy and Aviation broker to a multi Niche broker and a very strategic Commercial Insurance provider. We never lost our focus, we just evolved. We now have eleven (11) active Niches in our office being:

With our new focus we developed what we call Executive Services. This is a Personal Lines Insurance division for Commercially connected clients and is treated as a Niche in our business. This is not a Personal Lines product, but an Executive product. Our clientele are service focused and an integral part of the BKI business model going forward. Our quote to written ratio is close to 100%.

It is also important to touch on independence, which is a word that is used very loosely in the insurance industry. The truth is there are few brokerages left that are truly independent, meaning no outside ownership or influence on the operation. Our independence is something that we are very proud of and the entrepreneurial nature of the organization shines through in every area. BKI has some future opportunities with partners and potential partners that may change the structure of ownership however will never compromise our independence. BKI will always be owned by active participants of the business as we feel anything else would be a disservice to our clients.

We hope you will enjoy your look at our evolving website and we look forward to joining your service term. If you have any questions about the content or our company, please do not hesitate to call me.
