Voluntary and the Small Case Market

Cost: $2,500; published 2023

Since 2014, Eastbridge has produced a Voluntary and the Small Case Market report. The report compiles research from multiple surveys in one place and analyzes the results and opportunities for selling voluntary benefits in the small employer market. For the purposes of this report, a small case is defined as having 10–99 employees. Specifically, this report looks at:

  • The size of the small employer market
  • Products sold in this market
  • Small employer preferences that impact carrier service
  • Top carriers in the market
  • Differences in employee attitudes or ownership
  • Opinions of brokers who focus on the small case market

This information will help carriers better position themselves to compete in the small case market.
