Nationwide Strength. Hometown Feel.
Berkshire Hathaway Homestate Companies (BHHC) began as eight separately managed regional insurance companies across the United States.
As originally chartered, each wrote primarily in its own “home state” – with some business in bordering states. The eight companies began as personal lines writers, and each had its local underwriting and management presence in their territories – a core strategy BHHC continues to utilize. Today, BHHC has expanded its footprint nationally, while remaining committed to our heritage of offering the personalized service of a local homestate insurance company.
