Sells business insurance and employee benefits
The Hartford sells insurance to businesses and individuals, covering property, liability, workers' compensation and auto risks, along with group disability, life and paid-leave benefits that employers offer their staff. Its business unit insures everything from local shops to large corporations and writes specialty coverage in the United States and abroad, while its personal unit sells car and home policies to individual customers. Agents, brokers and direct channels sell the policies, and the company earns money from premiums and from investing them before claims are paid. Its oldest insurer was founded in 1810, and the company is based in Hartford, Connecticut.
