Chicago Life Advisors Unveils 2026 Cost-Reduction Strategies for Contractors and Small Businesses

CHICAGO - EntSun -- CHICAGO, IL – Chicago Life Advisors, a dedicated independent insurance agency specializing in life and health solutions, is issuing a focused advisory for the Chicago B2B community. With small businesses and independent contractors bracing for potential increases in 2026 healthcare premiums, the agency is spotlighting strategies designed to stabilize costs and offer competitive employee benefits.

The agency's concentrated approach leverages its independence to offer solutions beyond traditional fully insured plans, which are often inflexible for smaller firms.

"Contractors and small business owners in Chicago are facing a benefits challenge: they need to offer quality coverage to attract and retain talent, but the cost increases are unsustainable," said [James Galvin Owner of Chicago Life Advisors]. "We are equipped with advanced tools like Level-Funded plans and Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) that provide the required coverage while giving the business owner the potential for year-end savings and greater control over their benefits budget into 2026."

Chicago Life Advisors' B2B advisory services include:

• Cost-Control Analysis: Reviewing current spending to identify savings through flexible plan designs, including high-deductible options paired with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
• Level-Funded Options: Providing small businesses (typically 2-50 employees) with a predictable monthly cost and the potential to receive a surplus (money back) if their claim usage is lower than projected.
• Custom HRA Strategies: Implementing tax-advantaged accounts like the Individual Coverage HRA (ICHRA), which allows contractors and small businesses to set fixed budgets for health benefits while enabling employees to choose individual plans that meet their specific needs.
• Group Life & Disability: Integrating essential group life and supplemental benefits to complete a competitive, yet affordable, overall compensation package.

The agency urges Chicago-area contractors and small business principals to review their 2026 renewal options immediately to implement cost-saving plan designs before the end of the year.
