“UTA” stands for the “Universal Trade Alliance,” but because that’s a bit of a mouthful we like to abbreviate it to UTA. What the UTA really stands for, though, is helping our members start, grow, and protect their businesses.

Why our members love us
Great comprehensive coverage that conforms to the needs of the home office, studio, atelier and business while also considering health, employees and auto. Great buy! I recommend it to everyone because it’s a very affordable insurance that can be molded to the business’ complexity or simplicity. Amazing!
We were thrilled to find exactly what we needed and the process was really fast and easy. The cost was affordable and we now have the coverage we need to take our bread to the farmers markets. We're very happy.
I appreciate an awesome communication and excellent customer service. All my questions and concerns were addressed thoughtfully and in a timely manner. It is very easy to use my account dashboard to access all the documents in one place. It is also very easy to correct mistakes within the tools in my account and instantly generate updated documents. I will definitely use ACT Insurance in the future for the upcoming vendor events and my other business needs. I recommend this service to anyone needing a proof of insurance right away.
It was very reasonable price for the pet insurance and it was easy to get it. Now I have confidence that I can do my own business by having this insurance. Thank you.
Quick easy and more affordable than other options. I called to get a question answered and it was a really nice experience, the lady I spoke with was really helpful and kind.
Sarah was outstanding!!! Wonderful customer service with a smile and a laugh!! Doesn't get any better than that!
