Tactical Stop-Loss LLC, based in Lee's Summit, confidently claims that it's "Making The Right Moves." In business only since 1999, the company must be on to something. The growth they've experienced--927%--can only come from having made all the right moves. Even more remarkable is that the company operates in what typically is a turbulent industry-- aggregate and specific stop-loss insurance coverage. "We're more a boutique-type business," explains James Fox, president, "in that we are flexible enough to customize coverage for each of our clients."
