Top 6 Tips for Choosing A Commercial Insurance Provider

When things go awry and there’s a lot of damage or liability that must be accounted for, nobody wants to be left holding the bill. In these situations, insurance is an invaluable asset and protects your person or business from various bad ends – such as going bankrupt or taking the blame for something that you have a minimal connection to.

For businesses, making a smart choice regarding their insurance provider is especially important, given that bills and claims can go up to the million-dollar range. With luck, the tips below will help you make this choice wisely.

1. Know The Main Insurance Types

This recommendation may sound basic and like common sense, but you really need to know what you’re getting yourself into before signing anything. For example, general contractor insurance is appropriate when you cooperate with people from outside companies – while property insurance should cover any items lost – then vehicle insurance should apply to vehicle malfunctions, repairs, etc. There are dozens of insurance types that you should keep in mind and choose from.

2. Negotiate Your Premiums

Insurance agents tend to be very upbeat and supportive people, but you always have to remember that they’re after profits. To get a fair shake, you should devote sufficient time and attention to the ‘analysis’ stage – where your premiums and liabilities are established and converted into numbers. For example, you shouldn’t let any agents exaggerate factors like value, age, level of hazard, and reputation.



3. Read Reviews and Feedback

It’s considered good practice for any purchase to go through reviews and see whether previous customers of a product/service were left satisfied. Insurance is no exception to this, and a provider’s website will ideally contain thorough and uncensored reviews that form an honest picture of public sentiment. If you only see 5-star reviews, it may be best to turn to an independent review agency, which will often paint a different picture.

4. Consider Future Scaling

Most insurance agreements are formed to cover at least six months to one year, but this is a very substantial amount of time. So what happens if your company staff grows tenfold or you buy dozens of new equipment units? If you want to make sure that coverage expands at the same rate as your company, you should stipulate such provisions in any agreements signed.

5. Don’t be Afraid to Shop Around

Most sales representatives will go out of their way and apply maximum pressure to close a sale, but you should never give in for the sake of politeness. Even if the first or second provider you’ve come across seems like a good fit, it’ll never hurt to take a step back, remove some of the pressure, and look at more options. You’ll always be able to come back to one that you liked.



6. Consider Hiring an Independent Broker

If you know little about insurance and your company doesn’t have a worker specializing in these matters, you can always hire an independent broker. They’ll be able to analyze your needs and look for a suitable provider – and offer without bias.
