Your Most Valuable Asset
While many people recognize the need to insure personal belongings like cars and homes, often they don't insure what provides those belongings - their income! Your income is the foundation of your financial security.Would you be able to maintain your current lifestyle without it? If you're like most people, the answer is "no."

Retirement Planning With A 412i Plan
Your retirement dollars can work harder for you in a program funded with insurance products by The Cincinnati Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of The Cincinnati Insurance Company.

A 412i Defined Benefit Pension Plan, referred to in IRS regulations as an insurance contract plan, is the only defined benefit plan exempt from the minimum funding requirements of the internal revenue code. This type of plan, therefore, enjoys certain advantages over the traditional defined benefit plan and is worth exploring if you are the owner of a small business.

These advantages create a plan that, compared to a traditional defined benefit plan, produces:

  • Larger initial deductions
  • Stability in the contribution level
  • Simpler plan administration
  • Future benefits guaranteed by an insurance company

This 412i Plan information reflects Cincinnati Life's understanding of current federal tax laws and contains information of a general nature. Since tax laws are subject to change from time to time, we suggest you seek advice from your tax adviser.

Special Program for Medical Offices
The Cincinnati Insurance Company's Businessowners Package Policy (BOP) for Northern Physicians Organization (NPO) members goes well beyond where ordinary insurance policies end. This policy can grow as your practice grows, offering you more protection and value for your money.

The Cincinnati Insurance Company receives an A++ rating, awarded to only the top 2 percent of property casualty insurer groups by the leading industry analyst, A.M. Best Co. You can feel secure knowing you're protected by a financially strong insurance company. As a "preferred vendor" of the NPO, the Fitzmaurice-Garvin Insurance Agency partnered with various carriers, bringing you this superior insurance program. Along with superior insurance you also receive the service that our clients expect and deserve.
