What makes The Boutwell Agency different?
We’re a family-owned agency based in Northport, Alabama. We work with over 40 carriers as independent brokers—so instead of being tied to one company, we shop the market to find you the best rates and coverage. You’ll always get honest advice from people who truly care.
How does disability insurance work?
If you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, disability insurance replaces a portion of your income so you can maintain your lifestyle and protect your family from financial hardship.
What is Indexed Universal Life (IUL)?
IUL combines life insurance protection with a retirement savings tool. Your policy builds cash value over time, growing based on market index performance—but with a safety net that protects against losses.
How does Critical Illness Insurance help?
If you’re diagnosed with a serious illness like cancer, heart attack, or stroke, this policy pays a lump sum benefit. That money can be used for medical bills, rent, childcare, or anything else you need during recovery.
