Our Story
Orange County Brokerage Insurance Services, Inc. formerly known as Component Insurance Services, Inc., was formed in 2002 by Kirk Rawls, for the express purpose of providing insurance agents, financial planners, stockbrokers and property casualty agents with resources not normally available from a single life insurance company.
Component Insurance Services, Inc. was formed in 1976 by Wayne Rawls and Charles Caneer. In 1978, Wayne’s wife Carol joined the firm as did Greg Rawls and Brad Rawls in 1979. William Galway, former head of underwriting for Security Connecticut Life, now part of ING, joined them in 1980. This formed the original nucleus for Component Insurance. Over the last 36 years, the officers of Component Insurance Services and Orange County Brokerage have provided consulting to the Boards of Directors of a half dozen insurance companies and have contracted with several of the largest financial institutions in the United States.
The products designed by Component Insurance Services, Inc. were generally tax – oriented and appealed to the higher net worth, higher income client – business person or professional. Component also specialized in low-cost, mortality driven insurance products, tax deferred annuities and expert impaired risk underwriting for clients with health difficulties or dangerous avocations. The same can be said today, as Orange County Brokerage Insurance Services, Inc. continues to provide competitive and innovative insurance products through a nationwide network of “marketing underwriters” with a maximum access to products and companies.
Some of the names have changed, but the belief that a client’s best interests are served by an independent approach, utilizing some of the nations’ best tax strategists and the computerized shopping and comparison tools of one of the largest and most sophisticated data processing systems devoted to life insurance brokerage still applies.
