CFM Insurance

In 2019, CFM Insurance made a significant impact on the insurance industry by forming Innovated Holdings to acquire a chapter 379 stock company, resulting in CNI becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Innovated Holdings. Despite encountering multiple challenges, CFM’s forward-thinking approach enabled it to take on a stock insurance company that operates in a different market and product line. The Executive Team recognized the potential of CNI’s book of business and employee family and believed they could achieve success by adopting the same message and business model that has proven successful for CFM for generations. Through persistence and determination, CFM successfully closed the final chapter for CNI and embarked on a new journey of progression under the Innovated Holdings umbrella.

FORRESTON MUTUAL INSURANCE

The strategic partnership between Innovated Holdings and Forreston Mutual Insurance has been highly successful. The management teams of both companies have collaborated to provide section 2 liability coverage to every Forreston insured. In 2021, CNI released a new homeowner product to complement Forreston Mutual’s existing homeowner line of business, along with the auto and umbrella package. This range of products has provided both companies with the opportunity to offer their agents a diverse range of policy and package options, catering to their insureds’ unique needs. The partnership has also allowed Forreston Mutual to leverage Innovated Holdings’ marketing and distribution channels, which has helped increase its reach and expand its customer base. By combining their strengths and resources, Innovated Holdings and Forreston Mutual have created a powerful alliance that is poised to shape the future of the Illinois market.
