Our Story

The Problem Most Brokers Won't Tell You About

Business consultant reviewing insurance documents

"Business owners were overpaying for benefits they didn't fully understand — and no one was telling them there was a better way."

— Chase Webb, Founder

After 15 years working in the health insurance industry, our founder kept seeing the same thing play out over and over: business owners were overpaying for benefits they didn't fully understand, trusting whatever their traditional broker recommended, and assuming there was no other option.

The truth is, most brokers default to fully-insured, traditional group plans because they're the easiest to sell — not because they're the best fit for the employer. Business owners are busy. They're running companies, managing employees, and chasing growth.

That's exactly the gap Ascend was built to fill. We founded this company to help your business save money, improve benefits, and attract and keep the talent you need to grow.

As an independent consulting group, we're not tied to any single carrier. We shop the entire market to find the best fit for your company — and we bring Fortune 500 strategies to businesses with 2 to 250 employees.
