Raise Insurance Solutions provides strategic benefits advisory for small and mid-sized businesses across California. We serve values-driven leaders who want more than quotes—they want a long-term partner. Through a hands-on, three-stage process, we align benefits with business goals, simplify complexity, and support clients year-round. Unlike traditional brokers, we offer clarity, care, and consistency—helping you build a workplace where people stay, grow, and thrive.

Most brokers show up with a renewal quote. We show up with a strategy.

Client Retention Rate: 92% of Raise clients renew year after year.
Hands-On Service: 100% of clients work directly with Ezra – not an account rep or help desk.

Strategy comes first—always

We start with your goals, not a quote. Every solution is tailored to align with your culture, people, and growth plans.

You get Ezra, not an algorithm

We don’t hand you off to junior reps. You work directly with a seasoned advisor who’s in it for the long haul.

Built-in accountability

From compliance to communication, we stay engaged year-round—tracking results, offering support, and refining strategy as your business evolves.

I want to connect you with our Insurance and Benefits Advisor, Ezra Herzog, the Founder of Raise Insurance Solutions. I’ve worked with him for over a decade now and he has been fantastic. He is a great interpreter and navigator of the Benefits and HR world, and he helped us level up our offering by setting up a portal that all of our employees used for open enrollment.

Ezra is open minded and can break down options among HMOs, PPOs, both comparing insurance companies and evaluating various levels of costs and coverage within the same programs. He also is available to our employees to consult about their choices. HIs consultations are well organized and direct, which is important since there’s so much unnecessary complexity in the market. I wouldn’t want to try to do this for my small business without this kind of help, so very glad to have found him. Highly recommended.

Ezra is clear, knowledgeable, and consistent in keeping the focus on the needs of the client. I suspect that Ezra might be a useful connection as you continue to expand HR.

Ezra was VERY helpful with navigating the world of health insurance options for our small business. We have one employee that wanted basic coverage. Ezra explained our options and didn’t pressure us to choose something more expensive. I really appreciate this. He made what I imagine to be a painful process pretty painless, helping with paper work, always available to answer questions and got our employee insured as quickly as possible.

Ezra Herzog has been very helpful to us as we’ve navigated appropriate group health insurance options for our small business. He has a thorough understanding of the market, can boil down the options into comprehensible choices, and understands how to dramatically reduce the amount of time we have to spend figuring out what to do as the insurance options constantly change.

Ezra went above and beyond to help us understand and source a group health plan for our small business. He was generous with his time and practical in his advice. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any small business seeking health plan solutions.
