What does a risk survey mean? It means we’ll help/support you to identify areas in your business that are prone to increased risk and liabilities. We can help identify current controls, best practices and areas of liability weaknesses. This will also allow us to fully understand the unique aspects of your business as not all businesses are the same. This is a great opportunity to educate you on underwriter’s deemed best practices for the lines of coverages you have purchased. These surveys are aimed to create a win/win situation. A survey can help underwriters better understand what’s being insured, help the agents ensure you have the right coverages in place and allow loss control to be consultative and supportive to you as your business grows.
