Bryant Asset Insurance Consulting, a division of Bryant Asset Protection, Inc., provides independent consulting services to New York State school districts, private schools, BOCES, and colleges. Our sole job is to provide the most competitive pricing environment with an independent coverage review, enabling you to realize the best price in the marketplace for the broadest coverage. We help you fulfill your fiduciary duty for spending tax dollars for insurance in the most judicious basis. Conflicts of interest can arise within the current agency structure to handle the RFP process and it is too time-consuming and requires too much expertise for you to handle internally.
Bryant Asset Insurance Consulting’s original affiliation was with New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA) who approached us to provide this service to their members. BOCES also realized the benefit to its component school districts for an independent review and competitive bidding environment so a CoSer was developed for this service.
