Independent Insurance Guidance For Shreveport & Bossier
The Squire Group
Independent. Local. Built Around The Client.

Protect Your Family. Get Out of Debt. Build Something That Lasts.

The Squire Group helps families and business owners make sense of life insurance, Debt Free 4 Life, annuities, and employee benefits. We listen first, explain everything clearly, and build around what you are actually trying to accomplish.

Insurance Should Solve A Problem

The Squire Group was built for people who want straight answers and a plan that makes sense.

Mark Squire entered the insurance business in 2004 and founded The Squire Group in 2023. With more than two decades in the industry, he had seen how often people were sold a product without truly understanding what they bought or why it fit. That never sat right with him.

Today, Mark and the team work with families and business owners across Shreveport and Bossier. We listen first, explain the options in plain English, and build around the actual goal. Sometimes that means protecting a family. Sometimes it means getting out of debt, protecting retirement money, or helping a business take better care of its people.

What We Actually Help With

Different people need different solutions. Our job is to understand the problem first.

Life Insurance

Life insurance should protect the people who depend on you without wrecking your budget. We work with term, whole life, and final expense coverage, then help you understand what fits, what does not, and why. The goal is not the biggest policy on paper. It is the right protection for your actual life.

Debt Free 4 Life

Most debt plans leave you debt free but with nothing built. Debt Free 4 Life uses your real balances, a modified debt snowball, and a properly designed whole life policy to model a path that attacks debt while building capital. It is not consolidation or a quick fix. We show the assumptions, policy costs, loan interest, and responsibilities before you decide.

Annuities

You worked hard to build your money. Annuities can help protect principal, create predictable growth, and turn part of your savings into dependable income. We work with fixed and fixed indexed options, then explain the guarantees, access rules, and tradeoffs clearly. No mystery math and no pretending one product works for everybody.

Employer Payroll Savings

We help eligible employers explore a strategy designed to lower payroll costs while improving employee benefits, without lowering employee take home pay. Every business is different, so we run the actual numbers and explain the structure before asking for a decision.

Straight Answers

If something matters to you, ask it. We would rather explain the details than have you leave confused.

Why should I work with an independent agency?

An agency tied to one company can only offer that company's products. We work with multiple carriers, so we can compare options and find what fits your goals, health, budget, and timeline. That does not mean every carrier is right for every person. It means we have more room to find the right answer.

How does Debt Free 4 Life work?

Debt Free 4 Life combines a modified debt snowball, Debt2Capital software, and properly designed whole life insurance. The analysis compares your current path with a proposed payoff sequence and shows premiums, projected cash values, policy loan timing, interest, and responsibilities. Results depend on underwriting, policy performance, cash flow, debts, and how closely the plan is followed.

Are annuities only for retirement income?

No. Some people use annuities for future income, while others use them to protect principal or earn a fixed rate without direct stock market exposure. The right use depends on when you may need the money, how much access you want, and what guarantees matter most to you.

Can a company lower payroll costs without lowering employee take home pay?

For eligible employers, a properly structured preventative care and Section 125 strategy may reduce taxable payroll while helping employees access additional benefits. The result depends on payroll, participation, plan design, proper administration, and tax treatment. We review the company’s numbers before recommending anything.

What happens when I reach out?

We start with a conversation. We will ask what you are trying to accomplish, what concerns you, and what you already have in place. If there is a clear way we can help, we will walk you through it. If there is not, we will tell you that too.
