Why it’s beneficial for a medium-sized business to work with a broker

in Business Insurance on July 2, 2020

Running a business requires more than simply a knowledge of the industry in which you operate. There are many little details, like finance, hiring employees and legal paperwork that may have nothing to do with your industry, but are nonetheless critical components of running a successful business.

One of these components that entrepreneurs must not overlook is obtaining business insurance. The right policy can protect your company against financial hardship when something goes wrong.

A regional insurance specialist with the Pacific Financial Inclusion Programme explained to The National that insurance can provide assistance after a business sustains damage due to poor weather or other events.

"[Insurance] enables employment to be maintained and more livelihoods to be supported," Carr told The National. "Insured businesses have higher levels of resiliency. Insurers can also cover the business owner and workforce against death, personal accidents and medical."

It's not always obvious to a business owner which types of insurance products they need. Working with a broker can help them understand their options and ultimately create a policy that suits their business.

Here are the specific ways working with a broker can benefit any business owner:

Understand the different types of policies

Just like a business owner is an expert in their industry, a broker is an expert in the insurance industry. Brokers have in-depth knowledge of the various types of policies and how they work.

This information is invaluable for business owners, for whom a catastrophic event, such as a fire, could lead to unrecoverable loss. Having the right business insurance policy in place ensures the owner will receive the funds necessary to rebuild and work to re-open the business with minimal loss.

Negotiate affordable rates from various insurance companies

One of the biggest concerns business owners have when considering their insurance options is cost. Working with a broker can give you access to affordable insurance policies because the broker is able to negotiate fair prices.

Working with a broker can also help companies save money by making sure they're not over-insured. When someone is over-insured, they have a policy that is larger than their actual need, thus making it unnecessarily expensive. Brokers help evaluate companies' risk levels, and create policies that match.

Tailor an insurance policy for your unique needs

Every business has risks. Some may be obvious, such as earthquakes or hail storms; most people in Papua New Guinea know that extreme weather conditions will occur in their area at some point.

Other types of risks aren't so obvious to business owners, especially when they're involved in the global supply chain. Shipping goods overseas opens up the possibility of theft, damage or other types of loss. Doing business online creates the potential for cybercrime to impact a business.

Not every business owner is aware of the many risks that could threaten their company. Brokers, on the other hand, are experts at identifying these risks, and at creating insurance policies that protect against them.

A broker will review your business in detail – from where you're located, to how many employees work for you, to where you ship goods. Understanding these critical details will give them insight into the types of events that could harm your company. With that information in mind, they will tailor a unique insurance policy that meets your specific needs.
