Ever wondered what insurance brokers do? It’s SMART to use an insurance broker as:
Business insurance can be complex and a SMART insurance broker helps guide you through the process to ensure your assets and risks are adequately protected.
As specialist business insurance advisers, we act for you, not the insurers.
You will have us in your corner if you need to claim.
We can secure difficult to obtain cover for you.
We negotiate with leading insurers and underwriting agencies on your behalf to get you multiple quotes on suitable cover.
As business insurance specialists we provide general advice on level of cover, excesses, deductibles and risk.
Our brokers are specialists in business insurance. They are passionate about providing a professional, expert and friendly service to give you a positive customer experience at all times.
Our brokers negotiate & place insurance for businesses every working day.
The major purpose for business insurance is to protect against business risks, so why take a risk with your insurance?
Direct insurers and their agents represent only a single or a few insurance companies.
When buying direct from insurance companies and insurers agents, they will only present the basic policies available to them. You on the other hand may have special needs that may not be covered.
Direct insurers and insurance agents represent the insurers – not you.
At SMART Business Insurance, we act in our clients’ best interests, not the insurers.
As SMART Business Insurance is an authorised representative of the United Insurance Group, part of the Steadfast Group of Insurance Brokers, we have significant negotiating power and can generally achieve a superior result rather than going direct to an insurer and paying the ‘rack rate’. We negotiate on your behalf to get you excellent value on suitable cover.
Yes, cancelling your policy(ies) is as simple as sending an email detailing the date you wish to cancel the policy(ies) from and the reason for the cancellation. Once received, we will confirm your cancellation with your insurer(s) and then forward you the invoice noting any return premium if applicable.
“Where a policy is cancelled before the period of insurance has ended we will usually retain the commission/fee on any return premium involved.”
Following your acceptance to bind cover of the quotation, your SMART Business Insurance adviser will forward you your invoice and policy schedule. These documents will detail and confirm the start and end dates of your policy.
Additionally, once payment of the premium has been settled to SMART Business Insurance, upon request, a Certificate of Currency can be produced in order to confirm that the policy is current and valid along with noting any interested parties you may be required to include.
