Independent life insurance · Shreveport & Bossier City, Louisiana

Life insurance, explained like a person. No pitch.

We’re The Squire Group, an independent agency in Shreveport. You tell us who you’re taking care of, we tell you what you actually need. If what you have is already right, we’ll say so.

“

Big shout out to The Squire Group and Mark Squire for helping me save almost $50 a month on my life insurance. The process was smooth, simple, and educational. I walked away with better coverage and stronger financial insight. As a father, protecting my son and my family isn’t optional.

Why The Squire Group

We built this agency on one belief: taking care of people is good work.

It should feel good for you, for your family, and for us. That belief shapes every conversation we have and every policy we put in place.

We work for you.

We’re independent. No single insurance company tells us what to sell. We shop the market, compare the options side by side, and bring you the one that fits your life and your budget.

We teach before we sell.

You’ll understand exactly what you own and why you own it. If you couldn’t explain it to your spouse over dinner, we’re not finished yet.

We tell you the truth.

If your current coverage is doing its job, we’ll tell you to keep it. That honesty is why so many of our clients come to us through referrals.

We stay.

The paperwork is just the start. We’re here for questions, changes, and the day your family needs us most. You’ll always reach a real person.

How we help

Four ways we protect what matters to you.

Each one solves a different problem. Pick the one that sounds like you, or let us help you sort it out.

High Cash Value Whole Life

Build wealth you control, with protection that lasts your whole life.

Best for: people who want their money growing safely, on their own terms, with a legacy for their family.

Banks use your money to make money. A properly designed whole life policy lets you do the same for yourself. Your cash value grows every year on a guaranteed basis and isn’t tied to the stock market. When you need money for a truck, a business, college, or an opportunity, you borrow against your policy and pay it back on your schedule. Your family stays protected the entire time.

  • Guaranteed cash value growth that isn’t tied to the market
  • Access to your money without asking a bank for permission
  • Lifelong protection and a legacy for the people you love
Our difference: We design your policy to build cash value as early as possible, and we show you exactly how the loans work before you start.

Final Expense

Make sure your family can grieve without worrying about money.

Best for: adults in their 50s through their 80s who want the funeral and final bills taken care of.

A funeral can cost more than most families have set aside. Final expense coverage handles it, so the people you love can focus on each other. This is our specialty. We’ve helped families all over the country put it in place, and we know exactly what to look for.

  • Many people qualify for full coverage from day one, even with health conditions
  • Your price is locked in and never goes up
  • Simple health questions, often with no medical exam
Our difference: TV ads sell the cheapest-looking price. We compare several companies to get you full day-one coverage whenever you qualify for it.

Annuities and MYGAs

Lock in a guaranteed rate and let the market do whatever it wants.

Best for: people with money in CDs, savings, or retirement accounts who want safe, predictable growth.

A multi-year guaranteed annuity, or MYGA, works a lot like a CD from an insurance company. You lock in a fixed interest rate for a set number of years, your growth is tax-deferred, and your principal is protected from market downturns. You always know exactly what your money is earning.

  • A fixed rate guaranteed for the full term, often 3 to 7 years
  • Tax-deferred growth until you take it out
  • Protection from stock market losses
Our difference: We work with a wide range of carriers, shop current rates for you, and can spread larger amounts across more than one strong company.

Employee Benefits

Lower your payroll taxes and take better care of your people.

Best for: business owners with 10 or more employees.

Your team takes care of your business. This is a way to take better care of them while improving your bottom line. A pre-tax wellness benefit can lower your company’s payroll taxes and give employees health resources and added protection, often with no drop in their take-home pay.

  • Potential payroll tax savings for the business
  • Health and wellness resources for participating employees
  • A benefit that helps you attract and keep good people
Our difference: We run your numbers before you commit to anything, then handle the setup with you from start to finish.

About Mark

Hi, I’m Mark.

I run The Squire Group, an independent life insurance agency here in Shreveport. I’ve been in this business since 2004, and I still love the moment a family realizes they’re taken care of.

Before insurance, I was a pitcher chasing a pro baseball dream until my arm gave out in 1996. That’s a longer story.

Kind words

“I’ve known Mark and his team for a couple of years now and I trust that my family and all of my customers are being taken care of by the best life insurance agency around.”

Good questions

What people usually ask first.

Does it cost anything to talk with you?

No. Talking with us is free, and there’s never any obligation. Plenty of our favorite conversations end with someone simply understanding what they already have.

I don’t know what I need. Is that okay?

That’s where most people start. Tell us who you want to take care of and what’s on your mind, and we’ll take it from there.

What does “independent” mean for me?

We aren’t tied to one insurance company. We work with many, so we can compare them side by side and bring you the one that fits.

Can you look at a policy I already have?

We’d be happy to. Send us a recent statement and we’ll tell you what it does, what it costs, and whether it’s still the right fit. That’s our free policy review.

Do you only help people in Louisiana?

We’re proud to call Shreveport home and love serving families and businesses in Shreveport, Bossier City, and across Northwest Louisiana. We’re also licensed in 42 states, so we can help you by phone or video wherever you are.
