Orion180 Insurance Co. is domiciled in Indiana and began writing non-admitted homeowners policies in coastal Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina in December, the company said in a statement. Later this year, the company plans to expand in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. It is awaiting approval in North Carolina.

Headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, the MGU works with Goosehead Insurance, Lemon Mohler Insurance and Southgroup Insurance, among others. Kenneth Gregg is CEO and Ryan Jesenik is chief operating officer.
