Minimizing Risk in Business - Van Carlson

“831B is just a toolbox for business owners and for the right business owner, it's potentially a game changer.” Van Carlson

Risk management has always been an important tool in running any business, particularly when a market experiences turbulent times. Understanding the types of risks that face your business and the mitigation tools available will help you be more strategic with how you cushion yourself and your business against adversity. This is according to Van Carlson, who has been helping business owners to manage risks by simplifying the 831b program.

As Founder & CEO of SRA 831(b), Van is an innovator, developing products for a variety of industries that can take advantage of adding additional revenues while mitigating risk at the same time. By delivering institutional-type ideas to small-and-mid-sized business owners, SRA positions its clients at the forefront of their industry, allowing them to weather any storm.

 Van Carlson has an extensive background in Risk Management with more than 24 years in the industry. Prior to founding SRA, Van ran his own property and casualty firm for 15 years. With many commercial business owners as his clients, he saw the Great Recession of 2008 hit hard, and just like them, he was also affected by the sharp downturn in our economy. During this time, he realized there must be a better way to manage risk overall. From that desire to improve business operations for both himself and his clients, along with his extensive background in insurance, risk management, and finance, SRA was formed.

Since its start in 2008, several changes in US Government regulations have allowed the business to thrive – substantiating what Van already believed in: businesses needed a better solution to mitigate risk and create a war chest for the future. In 2013, increases in domiciles allowed the company’s success to skyrocket – with double-digit growth year over year

In today’s episode, Van provides insights on what code 831b is all about, and how businesses can benefit from the program.
