Beni gives small to mid-sized employers an affordable, compliant alternative to traditional group health plans.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aquiline today announced that it has invested in Beni Solutions, a provider of affordable, ACA-compliant health benefits for small to mid-sized employers in the United States.

Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Wayne, N.J., Beni designs and administers straightforward, guaranteed-issue health plans that allow employers to meet their regulatory obligations while giving employees coverage they can actually use. Beni gives employers a compliant and affordable option for employees and fills a gap for brokers looking for alternatives to traditional plans. Beni manages enrollment, billing, commissions, and servicing and works with approximately 700 agencies and 1,600 agents nationally.

Rising healthcare costs have put traditional group health plans out of reach for a growing number of small to mid-sized employers, many of whom are left choosing between costly coverage and regulatory penalties. Closing this gap is among the more significant challenges facing the U.S. benefits market today.

Brianna Manente, Co-Founder and CEO of Beni, said: “We have built Beni into a leader in the alternative health plan space by giving employers and brokers a plan that is simple, compliant, and affordable. Aquiline shares our vision and brings deep experience in benefits and insurance to help us take Beni to the next level. We could not be more excited for this next chapter.”

Tim Varone, Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Beni, said: “Brokers are under real pressure to find coverage their clients can afford, and Beni was built to give them a plan they can place. Our growth has come from earning the trust of brokers one at a time, and with Aquiline’s support we can reach many more of them across the country.”

Thomas Lynch, Principal at Aquiline, said: “We identified Beni as a leader in a fast-growing segment of the benefits market. With premiums still rising and no relief in sight, we believe demand for what Beni offers will only grow. We are excited to back Brianna and Tim, who have built a company that brokers trust and employers need, and to invest with them in sales and marketing to bring Beni’s plans to employers nationwide.”
