(August 12, 2025) — Frank Winston Crum Insurance (FWCI), a leading provider of commercial insurance solutions, today announced it has been named to the 2025 Inc. 5000 list, Inc. magazine’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States. FWCI earned its 61st ranking in the insurance industry and 3,626th overall, with impressive 98% revenue growth from 2021 to 2024, marking a major milestone in the company’s 20-year journey from startup to national carrier.

“This recognition from Inc. validates our belief that growth follows when you put agents first,” said Matt Crum, President of FWCI. “We’ve focused on building strong relationships, offering flexible underwriting, and creating technology that simplifies the insurance experience.
