Our intent is to inform, discuss, consider, and educate, whether you’re a business owner or simply looking to gain a better understanding of changes or challenges in the insurance industry. Creating open lines of communication between you and your broker is critical to ensuring you’re protected when and where it matters most. The right broker for your business will help you to predict and deal with the challenges that arise during both positive and challenging economic times. Exposures such as fire and water damage are two of the most common risks associated with owning a home or business, as we have seen with both the floods in 2013 and the Fort McMurray fires earlier this year. It’s critical to take a more proactive approach to understanding and identifying the limits of insurance required to be properly protected. Asking questions to understand where your exposures lie is a key component to the success and protection of your business. As a business owner, you understand the importance of purchasing the insurance policies that protect your livelihood – It is equally important that you have the right insurance broker for your business. Every insurance brokerage is not the same and selecting the right broker can make a huge impact on your ability to avoid risk and effectively deal with claims and changes to your industry. We hope that you enjoy the Fall 2016 issue of Risk & Business as much as we have enjoyed putting it together.
