Our History
You Benefit from our team approach every step of the way
Business Benefits was the first insurance agency in Northern Kentucky to specialize in employee benefits. Established in 1984 by George Beatrice, Business Benefits is a family owned business providing benefit services to employers throughout the region.
George soon hired our first and long-time employee, Lee Arkenau. Oldest son and attorney, Gary Beatrice also joined the agency and together they launched a tradition of leadership, community service, and the insurance expertise that established Business Benefits as the premier agency in Northern Kentucky.
Second generation owners, Geralyn Isler and Jim Beatrice, continue the tradition of leadership, community service and insurance expertise that established Business Benefits as the premier employee benefits agency in Northern Kentucky.
More recently, a third generation of family members has joined the agency ensuring long term stability of the values and service envisioned by our founder.
Today our agency is regarded throughout the employer and insurance community as a regional benefits leader and maintains an integral role in the fabric of the Greater Cincinnati area, delivering all of the tools and features of a large multi-state agency, but with the personal touch, service and attention of a local community agency.
