Commercial Surety Bonds
Coverage Direct Surety Bonds Is Now Part of ZipBonds
Coverage Direct Surety Bonds of Fort Worth, Texas, has joined ZipBonds, a commercial surety bond broker headquartered in West Des Moines, Iowa. If you’ve worked with Coverage Direct before, you’ll still find familiar faces and the same commitment to service, now with faster online issuance and more carrier options.
Two Companies, One Name
In 2016, Zach Mefferd was running Coverage Direct, an insurance agency in Des Moines, Iowa. As far as he knew, only one other business in the country used the Coverage Direct name: a commercial surety specialty broker in Fort Worth owned by Jim and Diane Brown. One day the Browns walked into the Iowa office to meet the owner of the other Coverage Direct. What could have been a trademark dispute turned into a friendship. Jim later became one of the first agents to use the ZipBonds platform.
Diane passed away unexpectedly in December 2021. As Jim stepped back to focus on ministry work, ZipBonds acquired Coverage Direct Surety Bonds. Jim stays on part-time as a point of contact for longtime clients.
