Univista Insurance
Univista Insurance is an independent Miami-based agency that specializes in coverage for Hispanic communities. This firm has more than 1,100 employees, 122 offices in Florida, 107 franchises, and revenues of $76 million as of 2018.[1] Insurance Journal ranked Univista No. 31 in the top 100 U.S. property and casualty agencies in 2019 and No. 33 in 2018.[2][3]
History
The company was founded in 2009 by Ivan Herrera and his wife Ania Herrera to provide insurance to the community. In 1996, Herrera arrived in Miami accompanied by his wife, parents, and a dog. This 23-year-old Cuban-born biologist started working in construction, doing deliveries, and other low-paying jobs to help his family. By then, he found an opportunity in insurance sales and passed the state license exams to become certified. Then he started selling health insurance policies in Spanish-speaking communities. Years later, in the mid-2000s, he was making a six-figure income working for a major carrier. During the financial crisis of 2009, Herrera knew that people and businesses were still looking for insurance and even more so at rates they could afford. Both he and his wife took the $40,000 in their bank account and used it to buy the name Univista, which was easy to pronounce in English and Spanish, and launched the company.[1]
In 2019, the company was ranked in the top 3,406 fastest-growing private companies in the country with a revenue of $75.4 million.[4] Univista Insurance has 122 locations in Florida, including more than 15 corporate offices, 107 franchises, and three call centers. In California, three offices have opened, and the company announced plans to launch its franchise program on the West Coast.[5]
Products
The company offers auto, home, life, and health insurance to individuals, plus a range of commercial coverage to businesses. About 70 percent of its policies are in private auto coverage; the rest are homeowners, life, and commercial policies.[1]
