Business Spotlight: Splane Insurance Solutions

As a direct to market insurance company, you will receive expert and personalized insurance attention with Michael Splane of Splane Insurance Solutions. Offering personal and commercial selections, Splane Insurance Solutions is also proud of their agricultural coverage specialization. As part of the American National Family Group of companies including Farm Family that writes 70 percent of all-inclusive coverages for farm policies in Maine, Splane Insurance Solutions has a very strong and dedicated presence to the livelihood of this state.

“American National has been providing 115 years of responsible, ethical and conservatively fiscal insurance across the country and has been a favorite go-to insurance company in Maine,” explained Michael. “There are many reasons for this. Since we are a direct to market insurance company and do not rely on brokers, we have the advantage of eliminating the possibility of gaps or overlap in insurance coverage as the result of being the one point of contact. We also uniquely provide residential and commercial farms with one policy tailored to meet the needs of today’s farmers.”

To serve area families, businesses and farms, Michael has recently opened his doors at 639 Roosevelt Trail, Suite C in Windham. Originally from Bangor and obtaining his business degree at the University of Maine-Orono, Michael has served the business community and families of Maine for over 20 years with his diverse knowledge of benefits, retirement, technology, business P&L strategies, insurance solutions, tax strategies and much more.

Michael explained why Splane Insurance Solutions provide solutions to the exceptional challenges many farmers face. “In Maine, we have a unique variety of farms - from vegetables, meats and micro-greens to seaweed, shellfish and clams,” began Michael. “Hemp and wind farms are also on the rise and whether you are a professional farmer, or you grow as a hobby we are here to work with you to craft our policies to cover your venture.”

Splane Insurance Solutions also provides property coverage on farm machinery, equipment breakdown and farm income loss. They also specialize in handling equine and livestock coverage. As a result, Splane Insurance Solutions is able to utilize its animal liability experience with other industries such as Veterinarians, which has earned the endorsement from the Maine Veterinary Medical Association.

It is true that Michael has extensive experience in the insurance and business worlds, but he also knows a thing or two about farming. He and his family own and run a small hobby farm in New Gloucester where they reside. There they grow vegetables and flowers, raise goats, chickens, ducks, cats and three golden doodles.

Additionally, Michael spends his free time volunteering in the community. He volunteers for the Department of Defense as the State of Maine Public Relations Director of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR). ESGR advocates and promotes cooperation and understanding between civilian employers and their National Guard and Reserve employees.

Michael also serves on several other civic and community-based organizations and is active in the Sebago Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce. He was also elected and has served on the New Gloucester Economic Development Board.

His community service and experience has put him on the track of success - not only for him as an individual but, just as importantly, for those who trust him for their insurance needs. Michael has received many accolades including the following from Steve and Lynn:

"Mike was absolutely great to work with. We had a really hard time finding an insurance agent/company that was willing cover what we needed on our farm.  Then we found Mike and he made the process easy and painless and got us the coverage we needed at a reasonable cost.  It has been a pleasure to work with him and he continues to be available and responsive when we need anything. We would highly recommend him."

And Doug had this to say: "I was nearly four 1/2 months without insurance on the homestead. It was nearly impossible for my son and I to find an insurance company that would insure a working farm. I was directed by another farm family to contact Michael Splane. With hard work, a few upgrades and communications with Michael, we were able to secure farm insurance that satisfied our needs. Thank you for believing in and working with the farmers of Maine."

Whatever unique and extraordinary coverage you may seek, whether it is your mainstream personal or commercial insurance coverage or meeting the needs of agricultural challenges, Michael at Splane Insurance Solutions is the one who can find a policy to secure you and your future.
