Questions to ask commercial insurance agencies on the first call
We have not written a full guide for this category yet. These are the questions we would ask every firm on the list, writing the answers down side by side.
- Are you an independent agency, and which carriers can you place our coverage with?
- Who services our account day to day once the policy is placed?
- Will you read our leases and customer contracts for the insurance they require?
- When we have a claim, do you work it with the carrier, or do we call the carrier ourselves?
- Do you handle employee benefits too, or is that a separate team or firm?
- How early before renewal should we start, and what do you need from us?
