Progressive began in 1937 when two Cleveland attorneys founded the business to serve vehicle owners with affordable insurance. The company grew from an auto-focused insurer into a broad insurance provider with personal lines, commercial auto, and other indemnity offerings, along with products such as motorcycle, boat, RV, home, life, pet, and business coverage. Progressive supports policy management, claims reporting, and digital quoting through online and mobile channels, giving the company a strong national presence in insurance and related financial services.
