As a business owner, you regard your business as personal. You brought it to life and continue to nurture it. Having the help of someone who understands that connection to safeguard it with business insurance can make all the difference. You get that with an independent insurance agent.
Unlike a captive agent, who sells you a one-size-fits-all solution from one insurer, your independent agent is a trusted advisor and personal shopper who gets to know you and your business to tailor your business insurance to your company.
Independent agents take the time to sit down and learn about your operation, goals, and concerns. Then they leverage their far-reaching relationships among multiple insurance carriers and the industry to evaluate and compare options.
This personalized attention gets you the best coverage at the best price.
What Is an Independent Insurance Agent?
Independent insurance agents represent multiple insurance companies, so they have the ability to find you the best business insurance that fits your needs and budget.
When you meet with an independent agent, you get nothing short of a concierge insurance service. An independent agent gets to know your concerns, the needs of your business, the risks specific to your business and industry, and your budget.
Independent insurance agents own and control your account, the client relationship, and policy records. They can provide you with a broad selection of business insurance options, offer you personalized advice, assist you with claims, and share localized knowledge and experience.
The Benefits of an Independent Business Insurance Agent
You can see how personal your business insurance is to an independent agent through the benefits you get from working with one.
Access to Multiple Carriers
Because an independent agent represents many insurance carriers, you can receive rate quotes and coverages to compare side by side. This allows an agent to custom-fit the price and coverage to your business.
Personalized Service
A policy off the shelf won’t do for independent insurance agents. They take the time to get to know you and your business and the risks your business faces. This allows them to provide tailored advice and guidance.
Time and Cost Savings
In most businesses, time is money. That’s why you can’t go wrong talking with an independent agent for your business insurance needs. In one phone call or sit-down, you only need to share your information once, and you receive coverage options and quotes from multiple companies. This clearly saves you time and money.
Advocacy and Ongoing Support
Independent insurance agents are your advocates, whether they are taking the time to explain the rules and regulations of the complex insurance industry or discuss your policy or coverage limits. Independent agents can answer your questions at any time and help you file when you have a claim.
One of the biggest benefits of working with independent insurance agents is that you get to keep your same agent when it’s time to renew your policy. If your premium increases or you need to change your coverage, your independent agent can find the policy that fits the changes in your business and your budget.
