Crisis Navigation for Your Business and Life
Life is unpredictable.
Who ensures your affairs are in perfect order, so you have peace of mind in any critical situation?
Whether it’s a crisis in your business or a personal emergency, navigating those stormy waters can feel overwhelming.
Imagine this: You’re hit with an unexpected event—a fire, a critical injury, or even a sudden loss in leadership. These moments demand quick thinking and immediate action. But who’s in charge of pulling everything together? Who’s making sure every “what if” is handled while you stay focused on what matters most?
ICE Guard Is Your First Call in Crisis.
With ICE Guard, you’re never alone when life throws a curveball. As part of our service, you’ll have a trusted advisor — Dan Weedin — on standby to handle your most critical situations, both personal and professional.
Let’s consider a scenario:
Imagine Tom, a successful business owner, who has built his company from the ground up over the last 25 years. Tom is the point person for everything—he knows all the vendors, handles the banking relationships, and has intimate knowledge of every financial detail. But what happens if Tom is suddenly out of the picture, even temporarily, due to a medical emergency or a serious accident?
His leadership team may be fully capable of running day-to-day operations, but when it comes to accessing critical financial accounts, handling insurance claims, or dealing with banks and vendors, they’re lost. The bank won’t release information to anyone but Tom. No one knows how to initiate a line of credit, where critical insurance documents are stored, or even who to call to authorize payments. In the meantime, bills pile up, vendors get frustrated, and cash flow becomes a crisis of its own.
The burden now falls on Tom’s spouse, partner, or even his adult children, who are already overwhelmed and emotionally taxed. Suddenly, they’re thrust into a whirlwind of calls, paperwork, and problem-solving. Instead of focusing on Tom’s recovery, they’re stuck spending countless hours navigating the chaos, unsure of what needs to be done and where to even begin.
This is where ICE Guard comes in.
With ICE Guard, Tom’s family and business stakeholders would have immediate access to a dedicated advisor in Dan Weedin who knows the business inside and out, can step in to handle these complex situations, and ensures that all affairs are in order—before, during, and after any crisis.
From managing financial institutions to handling insurers and vendors, Dan steps in as the bridge between “normal operations” and “crisis management,” so Tom’s family and team don’t have to. They gain peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: Tom’s well-being and a smooth transition back to normalcy.
That’s the value of ICE Guard—a safeguard for your business and your loved ones when the unexpected happens.
Dan has helped us to manage our risks over the past few years in a number of ways – first, by helping us identify and quantify the events that might cause disruptions to our operations and/or put the company in jeopardy, and then by guiding us in the development of plans to avoid, mitigate and recover from these events.
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.

Here’s what we provide, so you have total peace of mind:
Custodianship of All Insurance Policies
Do you have a dedicated advisor or resource who knows all your insurance policies and can act swiftly on your behalf during an emergency?
We take full responsibility for organizing, maintaining, and navigating all your policies. We know the language of insurance and the fine print and ensure it works for you when you need it most.
Dan has over 30 years of insurance industry experience in all lines and facets of insurance, including Business, Personal, Life, Disability, Long-Term Care, and Health insurance. He’s been a risk manager helping provide strategies to clients in all walks of life and industry to best protect their lifestyle, legacy and assets. Most of all, he offers tremendous peace of mind.
First Call in Case of Emergency
Who is the first person you’d call if your business or personal life faced an unexpected crisis?
We’ll act as your go-to contact. From personal crises to business interruptions, we’re the ones stepping in to help you navigate the process while you focus on recovery.
In times of crisis and chaos, people don’t know whom to call. There may be several contacts to consider, from CPAs to attorneys, to IT professionals. What if there was just one person that could be called and would then help navigate the situation moving forward? The value comes in saved time, money, resources, and frustration.
Managing Claims on Your Behalf
When it comes to handling claims and insurance, do you have someone who takes full responsibility so you don’t have to manage it personally?
The last thing you need in an emergency is to spend hours on the phone with insurers. We take over all communication, submission, and negotiation with insurance companies so you don’t have to.
Full Access for Key Stakeholders
How confident are you that your key stakeholders (family, partners, team) would know who to turn to if you were unavailable during a major incident?
In moments of crisis, it’s important that your family, partners, or leadership team are on the same page. We ensure they have the right information and access, so there’s no confusion or delays.
This is all about confidence and peace of mind. Priceless.
What you provided was perspective, sound advice, and the ability to serve as a resource to me as I figure out how to get my companies, my fabulous teams, and myself to the other side. I know I can also count on you to provide guidance for how to recover and be positioned to recognize and pursue opportunities.
Thank you for being a valuable adviser to The Langer Group.
Marnye Langer, CFO and Managing Director at The Langer Group

I hired Dan to help me with our insurance…talk about a mess! We had several policies and yet no clue what kind of coverage we had, if we paying twice for the same type of policy, etc. Dan took the time to sit down with both my husband and myself to explain how to consolidate some of our efforts, and where we needed to up our policy, and which policies we could eliminate. Dan saved us money, time, and most of all, peace of mind.
Jenn Hill, President Jennergy
Dan hasn’t told me how to run my business, he has coached me to understand how to think strategically rather than from a task-oriented mindset that I grew up with.
He has helped me succeed in putting a vision together for our company to push us into the next five years.
Ken Price, President at Westbay Auto Parts, Inc.
After receiving a health diagnosis that will shorten my life expectancy, I went through the process of getting my affairs in order so that my sons would not have to go through the struggle of figuring out where everything was located, what investment accounts I had and how to access them.
In thinking about this, it would be wise for business owners to go through this process for their business before a crisis occurs and those left behind are forced to do the hard work of figuring everything out.
Why wait for a crisis to put your personal and business affairs in order?
I have known Dan Weedin for years and interacted with him on a personal and business level and can’t think of a more qualified individual to help the business owner navigate this process to ensure a successful outcome.
Navigating the difficult challenges of a crisis doesn’t have to be so overwhelming if you utilize Dan to help you map out the process and put everything in order.
