Black & Company has grown from a small, service-focused benefits consultancy into a local firm that now provides strategic benefit planning, cost-containment solutions, and long-term financial wellness support for businesses of all sizes. They serve over 100 businesses and more than 30 insurance companies in the Tri-State area. Black & Co. insures businesses with as few as two employees to over 6,000. Over the years, they’ve expanded into broader employee-benefit design, retirement plan guidance, and employer education; all built around personalized service and relationships. Through the changes, Black & Company’s mission has remained the same; helping employers take care of their people in a meaningful and sustainable way.

Michael Black is excited about leading his team in continued growth and ongoing partnerships with businesses throughout the county. The Black & Company team is passionate about helping employers navigate rising healthcare costs, improving benefits communication, and building healthier and more financially secure workplaces.

What does Michael love about doing business in #PutnamWV? The sense of community that his home base offers. He loves the way the local businesses here support one another, and the genuine relationships that form here.  Michael loves how “this is a place where people still value trust, service, and taking care of their employees, which aligns perfectly with what we do every day. The growth in the area has also created new opportunities for employers and employees, and we’re grateful to play a small part in supporting that.”
