We want to help customers find your local business. Our digital small business directory includes information about services—such as curbside delivery and touchless payments—that may be relevant in a phased opening environment. Add your store or restaurant and let customers know you’re open!

Hart Mob

Big Hart for Small Business

Since 2008, The Hartford’s HartMob program brings together the company’s employees, along with their friends and family, to become customers of the small businesses it insures. Whether in-person, online or through pop-up events in the office, employees show their support for the company’s small business customers by purchasing their products and services, and sharing experiences through their personal and social networks.
