Many people ask us what “Providus” means. Providus is a Latin word that means prudent. As we searched for a name that described our business, we looked at many alternatives. Throughout all of the business that we work in, the concept of prudence rose to the top. Prudence is the practice of thoroughly looking at all alternatives and making a decision based upon the value of the evidence. This is manner in which we approach your financial decisions – by analyzing the vast array of options, weighing the positives and negatives of each alternative, and presenting them to you in a concise manner so that a prudent decision can be made. We do not focus on specific products or carriers; rather we focus on your needs and look for innovative solutions to meet those needs.
