Georgia employee benefits broker

Georgia Employee Benefits Broker for Growing Teams

Georgia has one of the more competitive small group markets in the country. Most employers still accept the renewal they're handed, because nobody shows them the alternatives.

Georgia Employee Benefits Broker for Growing Teams

Georgia has options. Your renewal doesn't show them to you.

Unlike most states, no single carrier owns the market here. The largest holds about 39% of Georgia's small group market, the second 26%, the third 14%.
That's real competition, and it means the number on your renewal letter almost certainly wasn't the only one available. It's just the only one you were shown.

Why choose a Georgia-based employee benefits broker

Three carriers hold meaningful share in Georgia, which is more leverage than employers in most states have. We run your census through a full market bid and put every option in front of you side by side.

Ignition Benefits does business as Ignition Insurance Solutions. National Producer Number (NPN) #22134889.
Built for your stage.
Growing companies often get treated like side accounts at large brokerages. This stage is what we were built for, not stretched to fit.

How to choose an employee benefits broker in Georgia

Are they licensed in Georgia?
Confirm a real license, not a partner arrangement. We operate as Ignition Insurance Solutions (DBA), NPN #22134889.
Are they actually using Georgia's competition?
Three carriers hold real share here, so there's no excuse for a single quote. Ask to see the bid list, and what each carrier came back with.
What happens when someone leaves?
Georgia continuation runs about three months plus the rest of the termination month, against 18 under COBRA. That short window changes which plan makes sense.

I got robbed. I was too busy to notice.

Nick Taranto
We raised hundreds of millions at Plated and had no idea what our benefits were costing us. I wasn't being careless. I was being a founder. Renewal after renewal, premiums climbed.  The people I trusted to fight for me weren't. The brokerage I needed didn't exist. So I built it.

Customer stories

AWM used Ignition to negotiate their 2026 insurance renewal, lowering costs by 22% compared to their initial increase.

Light Labs turned a 21% increase into an 8% decrease, $113,115 in savings, and better coverage across the board.

Ignition consolidated everything into Gusto, set it up before open enrollment, and now runs the day-to-day benefits admin so Mango's team doesn't have to.

In a fully funded plan, you pay a fixed premium to a carrier. In a self funded plan, you pay claims directly, which means more risk but often lower long-term costs.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ignition a licensed employee benefits broker in Georgia?

Yes. Ignition Benefits does business as Ignition Insurance Solutions, NPN #22134889, licensed in Georgia.

Can Georgia employers switch to Ignition without changing their plan?

Yes. You sign a Broker of Record letter, while your carrier, network, and payroll stay the same. There's no obligation.

How long does Georgia continuation coverage last?

The remainder of the month of termination plus three additional policy months. Employees need six months of continuous coverage to qualify. COBRA, which applies at 20 or more employees, runs 18 months.

Which health insurance carriers does Ignition work with in Georgia?

We benchmark every carrier writing small group business in Georgia against your company's own data, not just the incumbent.

How much can a Georgia business save on benefits?

On average about 20% in the first year, based on Ignition client data. Georgia's market is competitive enough that most of the savings come from simply running a full bid, which most employers never do.

Do I have to leave my current provider or PEO to switch brokers?

No. Switching requires a Broker of Record letter. Your carrier, network, and payroll stay the same.

What does it cost to work with Ignition?

Nothing upfront. The assessment is free and there's no commitment.

When should I start a review before my Georgia renewal?

Ideally four to six months out. A Broker of Record change can happen outside your renewal window, so you don't necessarily have to wait until next year.
