Buying insurance direct from an insurer might be good for you if you have a thorough understanding of your potential and actual risks and if you know the right insurance policy required to protect you and your business. But then again, you won’t have access to the range of insurers and the range of insurance products available to insurance brokers because there are only a small number of insurers who actually deal with the general public. And most importantly, you won’t receive valuable professional advice.
- You might think buying direct will save you time
- You might feel you’re in control of your insurance
- You might receive a slightly lesser premium
But what real value are you adding to your business?
- What happens if you get it wrong?
- Are you willing to potentially risk loosing your business or costing your business money because you didn’t use an insurance broker?
- Are you really saving money in the long run?
Here’s a few things to consider when dealing with a direct insurer:
- Business insurance can be complex
- You might not have a complete understanding of risk and insurance
- You won’t have an advocate to support you (especially when making a claim)
- Many insurer’s operate call centres so you’ll likely speak to different people each time you call
- Insurer’s may not fully understand your business and its risk exposures
- Insurer’s employees are often not qualified to provide advice and may be unable to provide advice
- Can you accurately compare the insurers policy’s terms and conditions when comparing products and are you aware of the policy’s exclusions and how they may affect you?
- It’s often “buyer beware” and “you get what you pay for”
- If you get it wrong, you’ll need to dig into your own pockets
- Dealing direct with an insurer can be risky and end up costing you more!
