Let me start by saying that I wasn’t the typical candidate for a career in insurance. After 30 rewarding years in law enforcement, I found myself ready for a new chapter. Don’t get me wrong—I loved being a police officer. But like many people, I reached a point where I was ready for a change. A career shift can be invigorating, offering a fresh start and renewed motivation.

If you run a business, you likely know how powerful marketing can be to grow the reach of your business. And no, I’m not just saying that as a member of Berry Insurance’s very own marketing department. Alright maybe a little, but it’s still important!

Ahhh workers’ comp. One of the great joys of owning a business. (We say this sarcastically of course.)

Getting injured is definitely not on your employees’ job descriptions, but that doesn’t mean it doesn't happen sometimes.

Did you know that workers’ compensation isn’t really a standard insurance in the sense that it doesn’t actually pay for your claims? It simply finances them.

If you’re a MA business owner, you probably groan at the mere utterance of the words “workers’ compensation.” We get it - it’s required in your state but it is complex to apply for, there are often mistakes in how you are rated, you need to participate in an annual audit, and it’s expensive. Sometimes it may make you reconsider your life decisions to become a business owner in the first place.
