Starr Companies has announced the launch of Starr Insure, a new direct-to-consumer digital insurance agency that provides property and casualty coverages for small businesses.

Coverage is obtained, end-to-end, through www.starrinsure.com and covers a range of small businesses including but not limited to distributors, retailers, artisan contractors, medical offices, general offices, professional services and social organizations.

Starr said the digital agency’s initial launch includes business owners policies in the United States, with plans to introduce additional lines of business and coverages in the coming months.
