Nyhart Actuary & Employee Benefits plans to expand its Indianapolis headquarters and create as many as 25 jobs here by 2017, continuing its recent growth spurt.
The firm will invest $840,000 to lease and equip an additional 8,000 square feet of office space, according to Nyhart CEO Thomas Toten. Nyhart currently is negotiating an expansion of the 20,000 square feet it leases at 8415 Allison Pointe Blvd. in the Castleton area.
Nyhart currently has 68 full-time employees in Indianapolis and about another 30 across five other states. The firm already has started hiring additional actuaries, administrators and benefit consultants from college programs for its Indianapolis expansion.

The Indiana Economic Development Corp. has offered Nyhart up to $325,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $35,000 in training grants based on the company’s job-creation plans. The credits are performance-based, meaning the company cannot claim incentives until employees are hired.
