About Great American
Great American Insurance Group has operated since 1872 and built its franchise on specialty niches rather than commodity coverage. Rated A+ (Superior) by AM Best, it brings that specialty discipline to workers’ compensation through industry-focused underwriting units.
Great American stands out for businesses in its specialty lanes — agribusiness, food processing, equipment dealers, transportation-adjacent operations, and other niches where its underwriters know the exposures cold and price them with confidence instead of caution.
Why businesses choose Great American
Specialty-niche mastery
Dozens of industry-focused underwriting divisions that truly understand niche operations standard carriers price defensively.
A+ Superior strength
One of a minority of carriers holding AM Best’s A+ (Superior) rating with over 150 years of operating history.
Agribusiness depth
A longstanding leader in farm, ranch, and food-chain related accounts where comp exposure is specialized.
Stable market presence
Consistent appetite through market cycles — not a carrier that writes a class one year and abandons it the next.
Billing and pay-as-you-go options
Great American offers installment and payroll-reporting billing options appropriate to account size, with program-level flexibility in its specialty divisions. Larger specialty accounts can access tailored program structures as premium grows.
Who Great American fits best
Great American is a strong match for businesses inside its specialty niches — agribusiness, food, equipment, and related operations — plus solid mid-market accounts that value an A+ balance sheet. Generic small accounts outside those lanes usually price better with our small-business markets, and our comparison will show it plainly.
