BUSINESS INSURANCE BROKERS

Reasons
for using a broker

A
broker is not more expensive than a direct insurer – the difference is that
they are able to use many companies in the market to find suitable insurances for
you that do not have the high costs of a call center. It also puts your
insurance business on a more personal level and you won’t have to speak to
whoever is on duty at a call centre and who doesn’t necessarily know your
unique requirements.

An independent business insurance broker in South Africa  will assist companies in arranging competitive
cover. Whilst the premium you are quoted is important, you also need to
consider the cover, terms, conditions, excesses and warranties. This is where
you need the input of a business insurance broker so you can discuss your cover
requirements in detail.

Firstly, you can get a
packaged deal whereby insurers develop policies suited to the particular type
of industry you are in. They cover most of the main business groups, such as
shops, restaurants, offices, salons, hotels, pubs, surgeries etc. They have
certain basic covers included, such as employers’ public liability and then its
up to you to add your own choices of cover for items like contents, stock,
computers, buildings, legal expenses and other special requirements which you
have.

Because there are many types of
cover to choose from – this is where it’s vital to discuss your needs with an
independent broker. Do not rely on any website that offers to compare business
insurance -unless you have the chance to discuss, face to face or over the
phone, what insurance you require.

Business
insurance brokers in South Africa were
established to give personal service to clients. With a reliable broker on your
side you should be able to trust him/her with your every insurance need – from
your home, vehicle and personal possessions to your company’s needs.
