Should I use an Insurance Broker?
Why should I use an insurance broker over going direct?
You may think that going direct to an insurance company will save you money but this is simply not the case.
Insurance brokers are professionally qualified to accurately assess your exposures and recommend cover that adequately protects you and your business. Even if you are able to make a small saving initially you will often end up paying big time when something goes wrong.
Insurance Broker Vs Direct – it’s a no brainer

We assess your risk exposures
It is important as a business owner to understand the parts of your business that put you at the most risk of a loss. It can be tricky to identify the risks within your business - some may be obvious, but others can take time to reveal themselves.
By fully understanding what your risk exposures are, you can have a plan in place to prevent a loss and protect your business financially should something go wrong.
