Insurance Q&A with Clay Snellings:
Where should I begin when purchasing insurance for my business?
Call an insurance agent that you trust and who has the experience and resources to meet your needs. Usually, a referral from a trusted advisor is a good way to start.
What are the advantages to using a broker to purchase insurance?
Using an independent broker brings more options. A qualified broker will have access to the best insurance companies who will provide the coverage and pricing that is best. Also, a good broker will check in with you at least annually to update your coverage to meet your changing needs. To learn more about selecting a broker vs. an agent, click here.
