What happens next
No forms to chase — we do the legwork.
Our team benchmarks your class codes and current premium against carriers that specialize in food-production risk.
A dedicated, bilingual account manager walks you through exactly what we found — in plain English or Spanish.
No pressure. If switching saves you money, we make it seamless. If your current rate is already strong, we'll tell you straight.
Why owners switch
Through PIB & Leavitt Group, we access food-production markets that generalist brokers don't even know exist.
We use Work Compare technology to benchmark your risk against top-performing bakeries in your exact class code.
Landlords and wholesale accounts need COIs fast. Our team turns certificates around the same day — guaranteed.
Dedicated account managers fluent in English and Spanish. Your bakers get the same level of service you do.
J. Cazares & Associates has spent nearly five decades placing commercial coverage for working businesses across the country — including the bakeries, tortillerias, and food producers that feed their communities.
We're not a call center. You get a dedicated, bilingual account manager who knows your class codes, your landlord and wholesale certificate needs, and the carriers who actually want bakery risk.
Through PIB and the Leavitt Group, we reach specialized markets most brokers can't — and we challenge inflated experience-mod rates line by line.
Proof from the floor
“Our premium jumped after one minor claim. J. Cazares found the misclassified class code that was driving it and moved us to a specialized carrier — we saved thousands.”
Owner
PLACEHOLDER — wholesale bakery
“Same-day certificates kept our wholesale accounts happy, and the whole team speaks Spanish, which made it easy for our bakers. Switching was painless.”
Operations Manager
PLACEHOLDER — bakery & café
“We assumed our rate was just what bakeries pay. J. Cazares showed us it wasn’t — and proved it with a side-by-side comparison.”
GM
PLACEHOLDER — tortilleria
Good to know
Bakeries carry elevated class-code risk — hot ovens and burns, mixers and slicers, slips on flour-dusted floors, and repetitive-motion strain from early-morning production. But many bakeries are misclassified or carrying inflated mod rates from old claims. We audit both.
Your EMR (mod rate) is a multiplier applied to your base premium. A 1.0 is average. If yours is higher — even from old or disputed claims — you're paying a penalty. We identify errors in your mod rate and challenge them.
Most clients receive a carrier comparison within 48 hours of submitting their info. If you need a COI same-day for a landlord or wholesale account, call us directly.
No. Our analysis is free and there's no commitment. If we find savings, great. If your current rate is already competitive, we'll tell you that too.
