Group Alternatives, Inc. operates in the insurance sector with a focus on helping employers develop and maintain cost-effective, high-quality benefit programs. The firm targets employers seeking objective financial guidance in group benefits, aiming to provide continuity and expertise through a service model that assigns each client a lead consultant and a secondary consultant. Based in Downers Grove, Illinois, the company emphasizes its history of serving the group benefits market since its founding in 1989 by Robert C. Baker, and conducts business from Schaumburg, Illinois, with a small team responsible for operations and client services. A notable recent development is a partnership established with Springbuk, Inc. in 2019. The organization describes its approach as advisory, typically aligning with employers managing plans of 200 or more employees, and positions itself within the insurance industry as a provider of consulting services rather than a traditional benefits carrier.
