Small businesses employ 61.7 million Americans.

That’s nearly half the working population. Yet, because of their size, small businesses are often overlooked.

Method is committed to keeping workers safe, healthy and on-the-job — no matter the size of their employer. That’s why we offer a new Small Business Comp program backed by our same excellent customer service.

Method writes Small Business Comp in the following states:

AL, AR, AZ, CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, KY, LA, MA, MD, MS, NC, NH, NJ, NM, OK, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, VT, WV
