We're Michael and Sarah Began, and MC Insurance Group is our family-owned independent agency. We quote your coverage with multiple insurance companies instead of one. Our office is on 7th Avenue in Chardon. We're open from 8 to 5:30 on weekdays and meet evenings and weekends by appointment to accommodate working families.

About us

A family and veteran-owned agency in Chardon

MC Insurance Group is run by Michael and Sarah Began, a husband and wife team with close to 30 combined years in the insurance industry. When you call, you get one of us.

We're Geauga County locals raising our two boys in Chardon. We shop your coverage with multiple carriers at no cost to you, and we never pressure anyone into a policy.

What you get with a local, independent agency

  • You talk to us directly

    Not a call center, not whoever is next in the queue. We write your policy, we know what is on it, and we are the ones who answer when something happens.

  • Multiple companies, one conversation

    We run your information once and compare the companies that fit. If your rate jumps at renewal, we shop it again. You do not start over.

  • Hours that fit a working schedule

    Monday to Friday, 8 to 5:30. Evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays by appointment. Call, text, or email and tell us what works.

What we can help with

  • Home insurance

    Houses, condos, and rentals. We pay attention to the things that matter out here: snow load, wells and septic, barns and outbuildings.

  • Auto insurance

    Cars, trucks, and the rest of what is in the garage. Priced with more than one company, with limits that make sense for how you drive.

  • Business insurance

    Liability, property, commercial auto, and certificates when a job needs one. We meet after your business closes, not during it.

Got a quote from us and thinking about calling the company yourself?

It is a fair question, and we would rather answer it than dodge it. Here is what we do, how we get paid, and what actually changes if you buy the same policy direct.

How a quote with us works

  • 1. Tell us what you have now

    About 15 minutes by phone, text, email, or at our office. Your current declarations page helps a lot.

  • 2. We quote it with the companies that fit

    Same coverage across the board, so you are comparing like with like.

  • 3. We go over the options together

    Coverage first, then price. We will tell you where we think you are over-insured or exposed.

  • 4. You decide

    If you move, we handle the paperwork for the new policy.
