Frequently Asked Questions
Indiana is one of the more active severe weather states in the Midwest, with tornadoes, hail, straight-line winds and flooding posing regular threats to commercial property and operations. Businesses should review property coverage limits, business interruption provisions and disaster recovery plans with their broker. Hylant’s risk management consultants help Indiana businesses prepare for and recover from weather-related losses.
Hylant is a family-owned, independent brokerage with no insurance company affiliations. That means our recommendations are driven entirely by your interests. With four Indiana offices, 26 years of local experience, and the resources of one of the nation’s largest privately held brokerages, we offer a combination of personal attention and market strength that most firms can’t match.

Indiana does not have a state-level mandate requiring employers to offer health insurance. However, under the federal Affordable Care Act, businesses with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees must offer affordable, minimum-value coverage or face potential penalties. Even employers below that threshold often provide benefits to attract and retain talent in a competitive labor market. Hylant's employee benefits team helps Indiana employers design benefits programs that balance cost control with the coverage employees actually value.
Look for a broker that is independent, meaning they aren't tied to any single insurance carrier and can shop the full market on your behalf. Beyond that, prioritize industry expertise relevant to your business, strong carrier relationships, a local team that understands Indiana's regulatory environment, and a consultative approach that goes beyond quoting policies. Ask how they handle claims advocacy, risk management and renewals. Hylant checks every box: four Indiana offices, 26 years in the state and the market access of one of the nation's largest privately held brokerages. Connect with a Hylant advisor.
