About Spire Insurance SolutionsThe Spire Team sits around a conference table with the logo in the middle of the table

An independent agency for specialty industries

Spire is a third-generation insurance agency built to serve cannabis, hemp, pet care, self-storage, and food and beverage businesses — industries that generalist carriers often misunderstand or quietly exclude.

Our Story

Built on a 50-year family agency, focused on what's next

Spire Insurance Solutions was launched to serve a market that traditional insurance carriers had quietly written off: cannabis and hemp, and other specialty industries that generalist insurers either declined or wrote with hidden exclusions.

The founding wasn't from scratch. Spire was built on top of Top O' Michigan Insurance Solutions — a third-generation, family-owned independent insurance agency founded in 1974 and rooted in northern Michigan. The same family. The same operating values. A new specialty focus.

That hybrid lets us deliver something most specialty agencies can't: the carrier relationships and program knowledge of a national specialty firm, with the relationship and accountability of an independent agency that's been writing for the same families for half a century.

Our motto“National Resources, Locally Sourced” — applies to Spire too.

Headquartered in Traverse City, Michigan, with agents in Detroit and accounts across 16 states, Spire is structured to be the insurance partner that you'd want on your own side of the table.

How We Operate

Four pillars on every account

Whether you're a cannabis cultivator, a vet clinic, a self-storage operator, or a restaurant — these four commitments apply.

Robust Protection

Coverage built for your actual exposure — not a one-size-fits-all template. Specialty endorsements, real schedules, real limits.

Advocacy

From quoting to claims, we represent your interests — not the carrier's. We push back on declines and unclear policy language.

Compliance Assistance

Stay ahead of evolving state regulations, attestations, and licensing requirements with proactive guidance from an agent who tracks them.

Ongoing Support

We're here long after your policy is in place. As your business grows or shifts, your coverage moves with it through annual reviews.
