Who owns FIC?
FIC is wholly owned by Freelancers Union, a nonprofit 501(c)(4) organization. We have no other shareholders or equity investors, so we can exist to serve our enrollees, not maximize profits. FIC and Freelancers Union operate as two separate, distinct companies. Freelancers Union is a nonprofit membership organization that provides advocacy, education, and services to independent workers. FIC is a for-profit health insurance company that provides insurance only to Freelance Union members. FIC was started by, and is wholly owned by, Freelancers Union. Think of Freelancers Union as a Human Resources Department purchasing insurance for its employees, and FIC as an insurance company that provides the insurance. By pooling members, Freelancers Union purchases insurance for its members at group rates from FIC. Learn more.
