Provident Protection Plus Named a Top Performing Insurance Agency in the U.S. by the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America for the Third Consecutive Year

Out of 1,146 independent agencies nominated nationwide, only 348 achieved this prestigious honor

AUGUSTA, N.J., Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- , a full-service insurance agency that offers comprehensive insurance programs to protect businesses, their employees, and consumers, has announced that it has retained its Best Practices status for 2025, joining an elite group of independent insurance agencies for the second time in a row from across the U.S.

The Best Practices Agency designation is awarded to participants in the Best Practices Study, which analyzes and documents the business practices of the highest-performing insurance agencies in the industry.

This year, 1,146 independent agencies throughout the U.S. were nominated to compete for this coveted designation and only 348 agencies scored high enough to qualify as a Best Practices Agency.

“Being named a top-performing insurance agency for the third year in a row is incredibly exciting and a true testament to our team’s passion and dedication,” said George Lista, President & CEO, Provident Protection Plus. “Amid elevated inflation and rising insurance costs, we’re proud to help clients not only protect what matters most today but also prepare with confidence for the challenges of tomorrow.”

Since 1993, the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA or the Big “I”) and Reagan Consulting, an Atlanta-based management consulting firm, have joined forces to study the country’s leading agencies in seven revenue categories.

Best Practices Agencies are selected every three years through a rigorous nomination and qualifying process. Each agency must be among the 35-45 top-performing agencies in its revenue category to be awarded Best Practices status.

Best Practices Agencies retain their status annually during the three-year cycle by submitting extensive financial and operational data for review. 2025 is the first year of the current three-year study cycle.
