Newly formed Method Insurance Services, a program administrator offering property and casualty insurance, has begun operations in Omaha, Neb. The company plans to offer workers comp and other P&C insurance products to independent agents in Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada and Oklahoma. Target classes include transportation, construction, healthcare, manufacturing, and goods and services.

Method plans to expand its operations and hire more than 15 individuals in the next few months. It specializes in working with agents in small and medium-sized business markets looking for workers comp insurance for hard-to-place markets.

Method is still awaiting licenses in some of the initial 10 states but will be fully operational and ready to go by early 2016 with plans to expand nationwide.
