(Fort Worth, Texas) – Higginbotham, the largest independent insurance, financial and HR services firm headquartered in Texas and one of the top firms in the country, announced a new association with Program Insurance Group of Georgetown, Texas — also known as the home of EZ CERT, a nationally-deployed insurance certificate tracking service for franchisors and franchisees.

Higginbotham Chairman and CEO Rusty Reid leads his firm’s strategic growth initiative, forming partnerships with agencies that share Higginbotham’s values of client service, team support and community investment. With Program Insurance Group, Reid has found that shared culture in a family-owned firm with a range of business, personal and nonprofit clients, as well as in-depth experience supporting homebuilders in Texas. The firm boasts a notable national reach as well, with the EZ CERT certificate tracking service for franchise owners and operators.

“When Doug Groves purchased the firm that would become Program Insurance Group in 2010, something special happened,” said Reid. “He brought a family legacy of service to the needs of homebuilder clients — needs that include tracking insurance coverage across networks of contractors and subcontractors. At Program Insurance Group, he found the kernel of a similar business with even more potential: helping franchise firms track a wider array of coverages across whole portfolios of franchisees. EZ CERT, the solution built on that expertise, is now one of the most effective services in the market for certificate tracking, and we’re excited to leverage it across our broader network.”
