How We Help
Since our founding by Edward P. Hylant in 1935, our mission has been to strengthen and protect the businesses, employees, and communities of our client family by embracing them as our own, one relationship at a time. Today, we combine our relationship-driven culture with customized strategies built around each client’s unique goals.
Building on that legacy, our Jacksonville office opened in 2012 to serve organizations across Northeast Florida, bringing deep local insight into a dynamic, rapidly growing market. We understand that businesses here must navigate distinct challenges, including a competitive labor market and evolving employee expectations, as well as coastal property and marine exposures. By pairing regional expertise with the resources of one of the largest family-owned insurance brokerages in the country, we help clients make confident decisions around employee benefits, commercial insurance, and long-term risk management.

Your local Hylant team can help you navigate and purchase health insurance plans to meet your specific needs in the Jacksonville area.
Hylant helps employers address workers’ comp and insurance costs by combining loss control, data-driven insights, proactive claims management, optimized insurance program design, and strategic employee benefits planning. Our loss control experts work with employers to strengthen safety programs, identify cost drivers, improve return-to-work outcomes, and align risk and workforce strategies, helping reduce overall cost while supporting long-term operational stability.
In a fully insured plan, a business or individual pays a fixed premium to an insurance company, which then assumes the financial risk and pays claims. In contrast, a self‑insured plan means the employer or entity pays claims directly from its own funds, taking on more risk but gaining greater cost control and flexibility. Hylant’s Jacksonville team works with clients to understand the best ways to manage and finance risk, whether it’s through traditional insurance, self-insurance, or even captive insurance.
Whether it’s Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirements, state privacy laws, or mental health parity regulations, keeping up with constantly changing federal and state regulations can be challenging. Hylant’s compliance experts stay ahead by tracking legislative updates and sharing clear, actionable guidance, along with helpful resources to keep your benefits plans compliant and administration running smoothly.
Hylant provides the full spectrum of business coverages, from general liability and property to cyber, professional liability, and beyond, all tailored to meet your organization’s unique risks.
