The MJ Companies were founded by Michael M. Bill and James Ritter 60 years ago. Our story is one of humble beginnings and a pursuit of ingenuity. Founded in 1964, we started our journey with just two individuals and a vision to bring more to the industry. Since then, we have become one of the largest privately held insurance agencies in America, with over 250 dedicated associates serving clients in every state across the nation and over 50 countries worldwide. Our diverse range of personalized services, including commercial and personal insurance, risk management, employee benefits, retirement, compensation, and total rewards consulting, have helped us earn the trust of our clients and establish ourselves as industry leaders. It’s been a busy 60 years at The MJ Companies. The timeline below tells the story of our growth and success. We’d love to tell you more about the ways we help you grow and succeed, too.

We help build smarter benefits strategies that reflect that commitment; supporting real lives, strong families, and workplaces where people feel truly valued. We’re proudly independent, rooted in Indiana, and driven by relationships. Our team works closely with employers to simplify complexity, uncover meaningful savings, and design solutions that put people first. Because at the end of the day, benefits aren’t just part of a compensation package. They’re part of someone’s life story. And we take that seriously.
