July 18, 2025 — North American Mutual, an independent insurance agency known for its personalized service and commitment to client-focused coverage, is proud to announce its latest strategic partnership with Next Insurance, a leading insurtech provider specializing in digital insurance solutions for small businesses.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone in North American Mutual’s ongoing mission to deliver innovative, affordable, and tailored insurance options to its growing customer base across the United States. By integrating Next Insurance into its portfolio, North American Mutual now offers clients access to one of the most streamlined, modern platforms available for obtaining essential business coverage.

Bringing Innovation to Independent Insurance

Founded on the belief that insurance should be easy, transparent, and built around the customer, Next Insurance has quickly become a go-to provider for entrepreneurs and small business owners across a wide variety of industries — from contractors and consultants to fitness instructors and real estate professionals.

“Partnering with Next Insurance aligns perfectly with our values,” said Rachel Johnson, VP of Operations at North American Mutual. “Their commitment to simplifying insurance through technology, while maintaining high standards of coverage and customer service, makes them a perfect fit for the businesses and professionals we serve.”

What This Means for North American Mutual Clients

With this new partnership, clients of North American Mutual can now access Next Insurance’s suite of coverages including:

• General Liability Insurance

• Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance

• Commercial Auto Insurance

• Workers’ Compensation

• Tools and Equipment Coverage

• Business Owner’s Policies (BOP)

All policies can be quoted and bound online, often in just minutes, with transparent pricing and instant proof of insurance documents. This seamless, self-service option complements the agency’s existing personalized support model, giving clients the flexibility to manage their coverage in the way that best suits their needs.

“Whether you’re a one-person business or a growing team, we now have the tools to get you covered faster, smarter, and more affordably,” added Rachel. “Our job has always been to empower our clients with the best options available — and this partnership with Next gives us another powerful way to do that.”

Why Next Insurance?

Next Insurance, headquartered in Palo Alto, California, is backed by some of the most respected names in venture capital and has served over half a million small businesses to date. Known for their mobile-first platform and AI-powered underwriting, Next allows businesses to obtain affordable policies without the traditional hassle of paperwork, phone calls, or long wait times.

The company’s strong customer satisfaction scores and wide range of industry-specific policies make it particularly attractive to today’s entrepreneurs, freelancers, and contractors — many of whom value speed, simplicity, and budget-conscious solutions when it comes to insurance.

A Win for the Future of Independent Agencies

As the insurance landscape continues to evolve, independent agencies like North American Mutual are increasingly embracing partnerships with digital carriers to meet the expectations of a modern clientele.

“This isn’t about replacing the human touch — it’s about enhancing it,” explained Rachel. “We’re still here to walk our clients through the details, answer their questions, and be a resource when they need us most. But now, with Next in our toolkit, we can also serve people who prefer to do it all from their phone or laptop. It’s the best of both worlds.”
