Our history

In 1978, we set out as 'Life of the South,' a regional insurer with one goal: to help people and businesses turn their ambitions into reality by managing risk. As the world evolved, so did we. We stepped into new territories - specialty insurance, motor club services, vehicle service contracts, warranty solutions, and premium financing - not just to grow, but to meet the ever-changing needs of those we serve.

Today, in an industry where insurance and risk management are increasingly defined by specialization and customization, Fortegra puts clients and partnerships first. Our story is one of enduring relationships, leading-edge innovation, and a relentless focus on delivering exceptional value. For over 45 years, we have earned the trust of partners and policyholders by combining integrity, expertise, consistency and agility to mitigate uncertainty, foster sustainable growth, and enhance financial protection.
