You can buy health insurance online in 20 minutes. So what's a local agent actually for?

Fair question,and we answered it honestly, including the part most agencies won't say out loud: what the help costs you (and what it doesn't), what an agent actually does before and after you enroll, and when doing it yourself is perfectly fine.

Read it, then decide what's right for you. Either way, you'll know what you're choosing between.

If you own a small business, you've probably been quoted a "BOP" and nodded like you knew what that meant.

A Business Owners Policy bundles several common coverages into one package — and it fits some businesses well and others not at all. We broke down what's actually in one, who it tends to fit, and the questions to ask before you buy.

Five-minute read that'll make your next insurance conversation a lot clearer.

When you call our Barron office with a health insurance question, odds are you'll end up talking to Lisa Zeman.

Lisa handles health coverage for individuals and families across Barron County — the enrollment questions, the "my situation just changed" calls, the bills that don't look right. That last one matters: the job doesn't end when you enroll. When something's confusing, you call our office, not a national hold line.

Fall is when health insurance questions pick up. If one's been sitting on your list, Lisa's a good place to start: 715-280-4808.

Health insurance questions don't wait for a convenient time, and the answers online are usually written for everyone and no one.

So we put the five questions we hear most from folks around Barron County on our website, answered in plain English: when open enrollment happens, whether working with an agent costs more, what your options look like if you're self-employed, whether you can change plans mid-year, and what happens after you're enrolled.

No jargon, no runaround. And if your question isn't on the list, that's what the phone is for: 715-280-4808.

If you farm, contract, or run your own shop, nobody hands you a health plan. No HR department, no benefits packet — just you, a bunch of confusing options, and a calendar that matters more than most people realize.

We wrote a guide for exactly this situation: where coverage actually comes from when you work for yourself, what your options look like in Wisconsin, and why the timing trips people up.

Worth a read before fall gets busy.

Your business isn’t generic and your insurance shouldn’t be either.

A septic contractor, pest control company, salon, cleaning business, or local tradesperson faces risks that a basic, one-size-fits-all policy may overlook.

From equipment traveling between job sites to chemicals, customer property, commercial vehicles, booth renters, and buried utilities. The details of your daily work matter.

At HFS Insurance, we take the time to understand how your business actually operates so your coverage matches the work you do.

When was the last time you reviewed your business insurance?
Your business may have changed since your policy was written. Maybe you added equipment, hired employees, purchased another vehicle, expanded your services, or moved into a new location.

A good insurance review starts with a few simple questions:

✅ Do you own equipment, tools, inventory, or property?
✅ Do customers visit your business—or do you work at theirs?
✅ Do you have employees?
✅ Are vehicles used for business?
✅ Does your industry have unique risks?
Your business can outgrow its insurance coverage quietly. Reviewing it once a year can help uncover gaps before they become expensive problems.

Use our small business insurance checklist:
