"New business
brings new
risks"

INSURANCE CONSULTANCY

What is the purpose of Insurance Consultancy?
Effective risk management and a good insurance broker will provide for the day-to-day needs of a company during its normal operations. But there are times when a company steps beyond its normal business pattern and enters an entirely new risk environment. We can guide you through this process.


What are these occasions?
If the nature of a company’s business changes then its risk profile also changes. New business brings new risks, particularly if it is one of the examples listed below. In such cases the basis for the company’s insurance may be changed, current policies can be invalidated and a new insurance package needs to be negotiated.


Examples include:

  • MBOs, mergers, de-mergers, acquisitions or other corporate restructuring.
  • Joint ventures
  • New ventures or projects in other countries
  • Import/Export contracts
  • Major projects where the contract includes performance criteria
  • PFI/PPP projects.


What role does the insurance consultant play?
The insurance consultant works with the client to:

  • Assess the current insurances, evaluate their suitability in the new situation and clarify which of the new risks are not covered by current insurances.
  • Identify the company's new business profile.
  • Determine which risks the company will accept and which risks require insurance.
  • Develop a presentation to the insurance underwriters and approach the brokers best placed to negotiate optimum terms.
Risk can arise on account of operational, financial, political, environmental and other aspects of business. Our expertise lies in putting these issues into a format from which the clients management achieve an agreed package of insurances through planned placements in the insurance market.
