US market: Orion180 expands into Colorado. The word from Orion180; Orion180 Insurance, a leading provider of flexible, customer-focused home insurance, announced today the Colorado launch of FLEX homeowners coverage, an innovative solution designed to inspire confidence amidst the state's unique environmental and insurance market challenges. Colorado homeowners continue to face rising insurance costs driven by increasing exposure to severe weather events such as hail and wildfires. Data from the Colorado Division of Insurance released in 2026 found hail risk accounts for 26% to 54% of homeowners insurance premiums, making it one of the largest drivers of insurance costs statewide. FLEX Home Insurance addresses these challenges by giving homeowners greater control over how they protect their property, allowing them to tailor coverage to fit their individual risk tolerance and budget. "Homeowners deserve insurance options that reflect the realities they face today," said Ken Gregg, CEO of Orion180. "Many homeowners insurance products force customers into standard coverage packages that are simply becoming too expensive in Colorado. Orion180's FLEX puts control back in the hands of Colorado homeowners by offering more flexibility and broader coverage options to manage both risk and premium costs." FLEX Home Insurance is powered by its proprietary hail and wildfire risk modeling built specifically for Colorado. Rather than relying solely on broad geographic assessments, the company's underwriting and rating engine evaluates individual property characteristics to better reflect actual risk exposure. Coverage A limits are available from $300,000 up to $2 million, providing protection for a wide range of Colorado homes built since 1900. Policyholders can then select optional perils including wind, hail, tornado, and named storm coverage, as well as a variety of deductible and co-pay options. Additional key FLEX Home Insurance features for Colorado residents include: * Multiple roof coverage options, including Replacement Cost Value (RCV), Actual Cash Value (ACV), and Roof Limit selections * Broad deductibles ranging from $2,500 or 1% up to $100,000 or 10% * Optional co-pay feature that can reduce premiums * Excludable coverages including Loss of Use, Personal Liability, and Medical Payments The deployment of FLEX marks a significant shift in the Colorado insurance landscape, providing a viable alternative to the rigid one-size-fits-all policies currently straining household budgets. Independent partner agents in Colorado use the company's MY180 platform for a streamlined quoting and binding experience to ensure homeowners secure customized property protection without delay.
