YOUR ESSENTIAL 2023 INSURANCE CHECKLIST.

 

As we look ahead to the new year, it’s important to plan for your insurance needs.

Whether you’re a business owner or an individual, having the right insurance policies in place can help protect your financial future.

To make sure you’re properly covered, here’s your essential insurance checklist to start the new year.

 

 

 

#1 – REVIEW YOUR COVER

 

As life changes, so do your insurance needs. Whether it’s a new car, a growing family, or a new job, our circumstances change over time, and these changes can significantly affect the type and amount of coverage you need.

It is important to periodically review your existing insurance policies to ensure that your protection is up-to-date, tailored to your circumstances, and competitively priced. 

Many policies change over time, and you may need more or less coverage than you did when you originally purchased the policy. It’s important to make sure you have the right amount of cover for your needs and that you’re not paying for coverage that you don’t need.

• If you have a change in marital status, a new job, a new home, or a new car, it’s important to update your insurance policies to reflect these changes.
• If you’re looking to save money, now is the time to review your policies and make sure you’re not overpaying. You might be able to reduce your premiums by shopping around for better deals, by raising your excess, or by bundling different insurance policies together.

Reviewing your policies regularly is a great way to make sure that your coverage is up-to-date and tailored to your circumstances, and that you’re getting the best value for your money. By taking the time to review your insurance policies regularly, you can make sure that you are always adequately protected at a competitive price.

If you find that your current policies are outdated or inadequate, it may be time to look into new coverage.

If you’re unsure, consult your insurance broker for advice tailored to your circumstances.

 

 

#2 – ASSESS YOUR RISK PROFILE

 

What are the potential risks that you could face in the coming year? These risks could include property damage, liability, health issues, and more. Once you know the risks, you can select the right insurance policy to protect you. 

It is important to assess your risk profile with your insurance broker to determine what risks you are most likely to face. Are you a business owner with a physical location and products? If so, you may need to consider property damage or product liability insurance. If you are a professional providing services, you may need to consider professional liability insurance.

It is also important to consider health risks. If you are self-employed, you may need to purchase health insurance for yourself and your family. If you are an employer, you may need to consider group health insurance for your employees. 

Once you have assessed your risk profile, you can select an insurance policy to cover all the potential risks that you may face. Make sure that you choose a policy that provides sufficient coverage and meets your needs. Review your policy regularly to ensure that it is still providing the right level of protection. 

It’s also important to stay informed about insurance regulations. Insurance laws can change from year to year, and having a trusted broker is the best way to make sure you’re familiar with the latest developments. 

By assessing your risk profile and selecting the right insurance policy, you can protect yourself from potential risks in the coming year.

 

 

#3 – SHOP AROUND

 

Finding the right insurance coverage is a difficult task, as there are numerous plans and policies available in the market. 

Contacting multiple providers to compare rates and coverage, getting quotes from different companies, and taking the time to research your options can be time-consuming, and it can be difficult to know whether you are making the right decision. 

This is where using the services of a reputable insurance broker can be highly beneficial. Your broker can provide unbiased advice and weigh up your unique circumstances, as well as comparing a range of policies from various providers. 

Insurance brokers have years of expertise in the industry and can provide invaluable assistance with claims. They can help you save money in the long-term by finding you the most cost-effective insurance solution, giving you confidence to choose the best policy for your individual needs.
