Your In-House Insurance Counsel

Independent Business Insurance Counsel

The insurance expertise of a full-time advisor on your team, without the full-time hire. No commissions. No policies to sell. Advice in your best interest only.

You have insurance. What you may not have is clarity.

I fix that.

You Have an Insurance Agent. Who’s on Your Side of the Table?

You’ve built something real. You have insurance. You probably have an agent who sends you a renewal every year.

Good agents are valuable. But your agent is paid by the insurance companies they represent. That’s how the system works. It just means nobody in the room is working only for you.

So here’s the question nobody’s asking:

If something went sideways tomorrow, a lawsuit, a cyberattack, a fire, the loss of a key person, would your insurance respond the way you think it will? Or are you just hoping?

Hope is not an insurance strategy.

That’s where I come in. Like in-house legal counsel, I sit on your side of the table: reviewing your coverage, challenging your renewals, and working alongside your agent, not against them, to get it right.

I work with business owners, CFOs, executives, and boards who are done guessing and ready to get clear.

No agenda but yours.

Where insurance has been part of the solution, he has helped us by working with our broker to shape the coverages to best suit our needs. For a company like ours that is that not large enough to support a full-time risk manager, putting to use Dan’s experience and efforts on a fractional basis is a great solution; it has certainly worked well for us.

Find Your World

The right advice starts with understanding your world: your industry, your exposures, your people. Choose yours below.

Businesses

Companies with $1 million or more in revenue that want independent insurance advice, clear answers, and someone in their corner who doesn’t work for the insurance company.

→ Business Insurance Consulting

Banks

Community and regional banks navigating regulatory pressure and complex coverage, from financial institution bonds to D&O to cyber. These programs need someone who speaks banking.

→ Bank Advisory

Credit Unions

Member-owned institutions with their own culture, regulatory environment, and coverage needs, from fidelity bonds to management liability to cyber. You’re not a bank. Your insurance consultant shouldn’t treat you like one.

→ Credit Union Advisory

Dan Weedin has single handedly saved my company money, time, and stress!

In messy unforeseen situations, it is reassuring to know that someone is on our team to help guide us through to the best possible route when faced with sudden hardship.

In a world of insurance jargon and misleading companies trying to make the most for themselves in what could be the toughest moments of your career, it’s a reassuring comfort to know that Dan has me and my companies back!

Justin Work

President, Work's Granite & Stone LLC

Dan’s work was thorough, and easy to understand. We felt confident that the analysis was objective and that our best interests were a priority. As a result of this engagement, we gained greater assurance that our program was properly structured and fairly priced.

We are very satisfied with the level of service provided, would readily recommend his services to others, and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Patrick Ryan

CFO, Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union

Independent. Experienced. In Your Corner

My work is purely advisory. No carrier relationships, no commissions, no quota. I don’t make a dime on what you buy, so the only outcome I care about is yours.

I’ve spent nearly 40 years in insurance and risk. I hold the CIC and CRM designations, and I teach insurance professionals as faculty for The Risk & Insurance Education Alliance.

I’ve seen what happens when businesses buy the wrong coverage, or find out at claim time what their policy doesn’t cover. I’ve also seen what happens when they get it right.

That’s often the difference between a bad day and a bad year.

We got a lot of value out of the time with Dan on our insurance review. He asked the right questions, pointed out areas of concern, and helped us get clarity on how what we have stacks up against what we need. At no point did it turn into a sales pitch – just a straightforward, practical look at our program from an independent third party – which is exactly what we were looking for. He helped confirm what was working and called out where we should be paying attention.

Bryan Larson

CFO, American Federal Bank

Dan was very timely and very helpful auditing our insurance coverage. His professional report and explanation was very helpful. He uncovered some gaps and overlaps that were critical vulnerabilities. We are very glad we found Dan.
