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.
