Insurance Renewal Tips
- Provide complete information about your operation. Paint a picture that describes what you do and how well you do it. You have to sell the underwriter on what is different about your operation and how the insurance company needs to insure your risk, because you are above average.
- Combine your property, auto and liability with one insurer if possible. You will receive package discounts.
- Have a well-managed safety program.
- Putting a little effort into your business insurance renewal can reap rewards in the form of better coverage and lower premiums.
