Business Transition Services
As your business grows, your risk management needs will evolve. LaPorte can help you navigate the changes ahead with confidence. Whether you’re considering family succession, an insider buyout, or a third-party sale, we’ll guide you through the key transition risks.
A business transition is a major event, with tax, legal, and accounting ramifications. If you’re like most business owners, you likely have a significant portion of your personal wealth tied up in your business, meaning the stakes are high for both you and your business. We’ll help everything go smoothly and successfully. In addition to providing the insurance coverage you need to manage risks during a business transition, we can provide business valuation, buy/sell review, and transition facilitation services.
The Value of a National Presence
You never know what the future will hold. Right now, your business may only be in one state or even one city. Tomorrow, though, you may expand far and wide. We’re licensed in all 50 states, meaning we can be by your side wherever the future takes you.
We also have access to many regional and national carriers to meet your Oregon business insurance needs. We’ll strive to find the best fit for your business’s unique needs. The more carriers we can consider, the better. This is true during ideal market conditions, but it’s even more important when carriers are raising rates and cutting coverage. We’ll consider multiple options to give you confidence that you’re getting the best coverage available.
Customer Service Meets Technology
At LaPorte, we’ve embraced modern technology and its capability to provide more convenient and efficient insurance processes. However, we believe that technology should support human-centered customer service, not replace it. Strong relationships are still the foundation of our business, and customer satisfaction is our goal. Whether you’re buying coverage or dealing with a claim, we’ll go above and beyond to guide you through the process.
In-House Claims Support
Buying insurance coverage is only half of the story. If you ever experience a claim, you’ll depend on that insurance coverage to mitigate your losses and help you get your business back on track. Our job doesn’t end when we sell you a policy – as part of our service, we provide access to an in-house claims administrator who will ensure you stay informed throughout the entire claims process. Our goal is to help you resolve your claims as quickly and efficiently as possible, no matter how complex they are.

We also have risk management partnerships designed to support specific industries. For example, our transportation solutions also include support for telematics, in-cab cameras, and other risk management solutions.
Regardless of their industry, our clients have access to INSource – a customized website with tools to help them navigate risk management and OSHA requirements as well as benefits and HR issues.
