A Local Agency That Takes the Time to Get Your Coverage Right

Insurance is easier when you know who's on the other side of the table. At 5 Star Insurance Protectors, commercial insurance is our primary focus. We help Monticello-area businesses with workers' comp, liability, property, vehicles, and bonds, and we take care of the homes, vehicles, and Minnesota toys that families depend on.


As an independent insurance agency in Monticello, MN, we aren't tied to one company. We learn what you need to insure, compare options across multiple carriers, and explain them in plain language. Then we stay with you as your business grows or your life changes. You can learn more about our story on our About Us page.

Built for Local Businesses, With Room for Your Whole Household

Our focus is helping businesses get their coverage right, because the right commercial policy can decide whether a bad day stays manageable. Every commercial relationship starts with a conversation, not a quote form. We regularly work with:


  • Contractors, builders, and tradespeople, from solo operators to growing crews
  • Professional service firms such as consultants, accountants, and real estate offices
  • Nonprofit organizations and the volunteers who serve on their boards
  • Retail, restaurant, and service businesses along main streets and retail corridors
  • Property owners with occupied, vacant, or short-term rental properties


We also take care of the households behind those businesses. That includes homeowners, families with teen drivers, landlords, and owners of boats, snowmobiles, fish houses, and classic cars. Many of our business clients bring their personal coverage to us too, so everything gets reviewed in one place.

  • Is there an independent insurance agent near me in Monticello?

    Yes. 5 Star Insurance Protectors is a veteran-owned independent agency at 261 East Broadway in downtown Monticello. We serve businesses and families across Wright County and the northwest Twin Cities, in person, by phone, or by video.


  • Who offers business insurance in Monticello, MN?

    We do, and it's our primary focus. We help local businesses with workers' comp, general liability, commercial property, commercial auto, surety bonds, and specialty coverage such as vacant property and contractor insurance. Every commercial relationship starts with a consultation.

  • What's the difference between an independent agent and a captive agent?

    A captive agent represents one insurance company. An independent agent like us compares coverage from multiple carriers and works for you, which usually means more options and clearer comparisons.

  • Can one agency handle my business and home insurance?

    Yes. We write commercial and personal coverage, so we can review your business policies, home, auto, and recreational vehicles in one conversation, with one local team to call.

  • Is 5 Star Insurance Protectors the same as 5 Star Insurance Professionals?

    Yes. We changed our name to 5 Star Insurance Protectors on January 1. Same team, same Monticello office, same commitment to personal service.

  • Do I need an appointment to meet with you?

    Appointments are recommended so the right person is ready for you, and they're required at our Ham Lake satellite office. Our Monticello office is open Monday through Thursday 8:30am to 4:30pm and Friday 9:00am to 4:00pm, and meetings outside those hours can be arranged.
