American Family Insurance

• Focus: Primarily offers property, casualty, and life insurance.
  • Products include auto, home, renters, life, and commercial insurance.
• Target Market: Individuals and families seeking coverage for their possessions and lives.
• Founded: In 1927, originally as a mutual insurance company.
• Headquarters: Madison, Wisconsin.

Aflac

• Focus: Specializes in supplemental insurance.
  • Products include coverage for accidents, cancer, critical illnesses, disability, and hospital indemnity.
