7 Things to Look for in a Commercial Insurance Agent

Commercial Insurance

Commercial insurance is a crucial part of owning any business. Property damage, cyber attacks, and liability claims can threaten any organization, and without business insurance, you may be exposed to significant losses.

Working with an experienced commercial insurance agent will save you substantial time and money in the long run. However, before you choose an insurance professional to work with, be sure to consider the following.

What to Look for in Your Agent

These are the top seven things to look for when selecting your insurance agent:

  • Experience: How long has the broker been in the business? Asking questions about past clients and policies issued will give you a feel for their experience level. 
  • Industry Knowledge: Along with experience comes industry knowledge. You should look for an insurance agent who can answer your questions or knows how to find the information quickly when they can’t.
  • Communication: Consistent communication is paramount. Not only is it beneficial in setting up your policy, but you will need quick and clear communication in the event of an urgent claim.
  • Clientele: Does your broker have a client base that sticks around? High turnover rates are cause for further investigation to ensure the agent is providing top-notch service.
  • Risk Management: A great business insurance professional can coach you, or provide resources to guide you, on managing risk levels in the workplace. 
  • Testimonials: A satisfied or dissatisfied customer speaks volumes. Ask your insurance agent if they can provide testimonials from past customers about their experiences. 
  • Your Business: Do they have specific experience with your type of business? Every industry in commercial insurance has intricacies that your insurance agent must be familiar with to give you the most comprehensive coverage.
