What is underinsurance?
Underinsurance is likely one of the biggest threats to your business. But is one that hides in the shadows. A lot of insurers and brokers might give you off the shelf policies. Might not interrogate where you’re exposed to risk. And might offer you eye-catchingly low prices.
But what do all these things result in? Underinsurance.
Put simply, underinsurance is when your business insurance cover doesn’t live up to the realities of the risks you’re exposed to, and the potential damage if things do go wrong.
And what does that mean? It means you don’t have the financial protection should the worst happen. Whether you end up with only part of your liability being paid in the event of a claim, or even worse, rejected entirely, the ugly face of underinsurance will rear its head.
In today’s insurance market, individuals and businesses are becoming smaller cogs, in ever bigger machines. This means that it’s more difficult for inflated brokers and insurers to interrogate your business properly, and truly understand you.
We work differently. We’re proudly independent. And this gives you two key benefits:

- Flexibility: We’re not tied to specific markets and insurers. By being independent, we can select the best insurer for your specific circumstances. This means that not only do you get the best cover on the best terms, but chances are, you get it at a great price.
But having an independent insurance broker that cares about you is only half the battle. There are some key steps YOU should take, to make sure that you are protected, and stay protected.
Because if one thing is certain, business is always changing, and risks are always evolving. So don’t get caught out and put yourself and your business at risk.
