About

We provide insurance for investors and operators.

We unlock value and reduce risk by giving your business access to the same sophisticated insurance strategies, analysis and big thinking as the leading global insurance consulting firms.

Investors and operators rely on us for clear, accessible, and valuable consultation on insurance, benefits and risk management. We get our clients the right insurance in the right amounts so they can approach risk with confidence, operate effectively and get their deals done.

We bring four decades of expertise in insurance and transactional consulting, earned across thousands of deals, from Main Street to Wall Street, from self-funded searchers to the largest global private equity firms.

HOW WE WORK

A seamless path from diligence to placement.

Many of our client relationships begin with a transaction and evolve into a long-term brokerage engagement. Here's how that typically works.

1

Diligence

We analyze the target's insurance program and deliver a detailed report that identifies gaps, quantifies true costs and recommends go-forward coverage

2

DEAL PROTECTION

If the transaction warrants it, we advise on and place representations & warranties insurance to protect both sides of the deal.

3

TRANSITION

We coordinate post-close insurance placement, lender certificates and carrier transitions so coverage is in force on day one of new ownership

4

ONGOING SERVICE

As the company's broker of record, we are more than just a policy broker. We manage renewals, monitor exposures and serve as a strategic advisor to the business.

Our
Founders

In 2025, Andy and Josh spun out NewCo Risk from a top-100 specialty insurance broker with a mission to build an enduring brokerage platform to serve investors and operators that have been marginalized by ‘alphabet house’ brokers and underserved by local and regional agencies.

They bring nearly four decades of expertise in insurance and transactional consulting, earned across thousands of deals, from Main Street to Wall Street, from self-funded searchers to the largest global private equity firms.

Andy Harbut

Co-Founder

Andy has spent over two decades in insurance and is a nationally recognized leader in private equity advisory.

Following his second stint at Aon’s Global Mergers & Acquisitions Group, in 2014, he built and lead an industry-first transaction advisory team at a boutique insurance broker focused on lower mid-market PE.

Andy takes a complete view of risk that considers financial and legal vectors to help business leaders understand their exposure and make decisions that align with their long-term goals.

His commitment to transparency makes him a valued advisor, turning insurance procurement from a complex necessity into a valuable asset for growth.

Josh Richman

Co-Founder

Josh brings deep expertise from his senior roles at HUB International, Equity Risk Partners, and Symphony Risk.

Mentored by one of the pioneers of private equity-focused insurance solutions, Josh’s approach is anchored in pattern recognition, developed through his involvement in countless transactions over more than a decade.

While others chased headlines and big-name clients, Josh identified a growing need for strategic advisory services tailored to acquisition entrepreneurs, independent sponsors, and lower-middle-market funds.

Passionate about serving this segment of the market, Josh is dedicated to simplifying the complexities of insurance and delivering clarity and confidence to his clients.
