Effective Shopping for Business Insurance

Many clients ask me where they should begin in shopping for insurance coverage for their particular business. Here are a few simple rules : 1,Really analyze your business and all of your operations to identify all exposures to risk.2, Write down your findings.3, Discuss the findings with key employees.4,Talk with competitors about particular things they may have found in setting up their own insurance program.5, Utilize your associations if you have this available to you.Many associations have very good insurance plans and suggestions about coverage.6, Use outside consultants if you want unbiased information. Please check references on all consultants. Some so called consultants are in reality insurance agents. The old wolf in sheep's clothing can really bite you. Remember, insurance agents have a built in conflict of interest; the more they sell you the more they make.
