Insurance Tips
Exclusions and Conditions
It
is best to understand how you are covered, it is as important
as understanding how much you are actually covered for. Be
aware of any conditions and exemptions that may exist with
the business insurance policy. Some cover is dependent on
you having an appropriate alarm fitted or securing your equipment
in a particular way. Details of conditions can usually be
found in the policy wording and are shown on your business
insurance quote schedule.
Amounts to be Insured
You
must supply accurate information to the insurance company
about the value of your assets. If you incorrectly value the
amount to be insured this could affect your claim. If you
also cover your assets for more than they are worth you will
pay a higher premium than necessary. If you cover your current
assets for less then they are worth you will not receive enough
compensation to cover your losses. An insurance company may
survey your premises before agreeing to cover the insurance
required.
About Your Insurance Company
You
should look beyond the cost of insurance cover and the amount
you are covered for and examine the insurance companies. It
is best to pay a little higher premium but deal with an insurance
company who has particular knowledge about your industry or
business insurance. You might also want to check the insurance
companies’ financial history and claims process before
you decide to take their business insurance policy.
Excess
Excess
is the first part of any business insurance claim that you
are responsible for. You can reduce the cost of your business
insurance by increasing the amount of excess.
