Having worked with dozens of a variety of businesses, KRJ Consulting, LLC (KRJC) has discovered a common theme: businesses struggle to effectively manage change while lessening the negative impact change can have on staff.

Theodore & Associates is the one-stop shop for all your insurance needs

Agency focused on helping clients navigate the process of obtaining all types of insurance

Theodore & Associates President Drew Theodore

What makes Theodore & Associates stand out from the other insurance agencies? It’s simple – we are a one stop shop for all of your insurance needs. Theodore & Associates provides property, casualty, life, employee benefits and health insurance solutions for businesses and individuals. Our commitment to excellence has made us one of the most respected independent insurance agencies in the southeast, and service to our clients is our main focus. Simply put, we strive to eliminate all obstacles in your way while obtaining an insurance policy. Our goal is to be a valuable part of our client’s lives and businesses by protecting them against unforeseen, unavoidable losses, and doing so with as little effort as possible from our client.

What makes us different from our competition is our friendly, informed and professional staff, and our ability to respond to our clients’ needs quickly. We offer access to clients’ insurance information with our 24/7 client portal, which makes it easy to obtain documents, request certificates, review coverage, and much more, all from your computer or smart phone. We have a competitive and aggressive spirit shown through our competent, well-trained, and ethical team. We take pride in the fact that we have an average of over 27 years of insurance experience among our staff. Additionally, our commitment to our clients is to actively pursue the professional development of our employees. We make it our practice for our associates to exceed the annual continuing education requirements of the state, and most of our associates currently hold or are pursuing professional designations to guarantee they are always up to date on the latest information.

With the unique distinction of our roots going back to 1884, we can offer preferential insurance products with only the most respected insurance companies in the world. Theodore & Associates has offices in Columbia and Summerville, S.C., and is licensed to do business in all Southeastern states. When you call Theodore & Associates, you talk to a real person; not an automated answering system. Our clients are assigned an experienced Account Executive tt he first time you call our office. We provide old-fashioned service to our clients with a modern, high-tech delivery system.

Because not all insurance agents are the same, choosing the right one can make a big difference – in price, service, and value. With other agencies, you get one company that sells one brand of insurance, but with an independent insurance agency like Theodore & Associates, you get choices. Why? Because Independent Insurance Agencies, like Theodore & Associates, represent a number of different insurance companies and can compare coverage and prices to find the best possible value for your individual circumstances. As independent agents, we are members of the Columbia community, and we’re committed to doing business face-to-face and being your advocate.

Our office is convenientaly located on Devine Street in the heart of Columbia, and has plenty of suitable parking behind the building and on the street. However, no matter where you are located, the good news is you can do business with us from the comfort of your home. Even when a pandemic hits, we are fully equipped with the technology to work remotely and still facilitate our client’s needs to their upmost satisfaction.

Not only do our employees get out in the Midlands community and volunteer to help where there is a need, Theodore & Associates as an agency is very involved in making Columbia a better place. We have implemented the “Commit to Cola” Referral Program, which supports a different local charity every quarter. Referrals mean the world to us, and we work hard to earn each one with great service and appreciation for our clients every day.

Here’s how it works: What qualifies as a referral? A referral is when we are contacted for a quote from someone saying you referred them to us. Don’t worry - we ask on every call. For every referral we receive, we will donate $10 to the chosen charity of the quarter. The person you refer doesn’t have to purchase a policy with us. There are many worthy charitable organizations in our community, so help us help them! Also, our referral program is open to anyone, whether they’re a client or not.
