About Royal Benefits

Schedule a call

Royal Benefits is a women-owned, independent employee benefits brokerage serving employers throughout Washington and the Pacific Northwest.

Royal Benefits was founded in 2020 after seeing too many employers receive the bare minimum from their benefits broker: a spreadsheet of options, a renewal presentation, and then being left to figure out much of the rest on their own.

We believed employers deserved more. They needed a benefits partner who would help them understand their options, think through strategy, support their employees, and stay involved throughout the year, rather than just when renewal came around.

That belief still shapes how we work today. Royal Benefits is an independent, women-owned employee benefits and health insurance brokerage serving employers across Washington and the Pacific Northwest. We focus on strong relationships, thoughtful guidance, responsive service, and being there when our clients need us.
