Equity Partners Insurance Services, Inc. was founded in 2002 and built as an independently-owned, wholesale surplus lines insurance broker. It all started with a small office near Mandeville, Louisiana and now has expanded into the states of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Texas and Oklahoma. As EPIS grew, so did our reputation as a consistent, growing presence and recognized leader in the insurance industry. In 2015, EPIS formed a Personal Lines Unit called Emerald Personal Insurance Solutions. In 2018, EPIS rebranded its Garage and Automotive Unit that it’s had since 2011. This Unit is now referred to as GAS (Garage and Auto Services.)
