Pros of Using an Insurance Broker
Insurance brokers specialise in insurance and it is their role to understand your business, identify any potential insurance risks and find the best available cover for you. Remember your broker works for you and not the insurance company. Other pros include;
- Professional advice on products and services available to you.
- Advice on historical data for your industry.
- Access to a range of different policies.
- We offer advice on policy features, exclusions and costs of competing policies in the market which isn’t readily available to the general public.
- Assistance when making a claim.
- An insurance broker can save you time, money and worry.
Cons of Using an Insurance Broker
- Dealing directly with insurance companies may save you money, however without entirely understanding the terms and conditions of your insurance policy, do you know if you have the right cover, and will the policy respond in the event of a claim? It may well turn out to be an extremely expensive exercise
- Lack of understanding of terms, conditions and policy exclusions – it is all too often the case that there is disappointment when a claim arises and the insurance policy doesn’t respond in the way customers believed it should.
Claims are Easier with an Insurance Broker
If you ever need to make a claim, we will act on your behalf. From lodgement of the claim, to checking on progress, providing professional advice along the way, right through to ensuring settlement is prompt and acting as your advocate should there be any concerns with how the insurer settled the claim.
