Read on to learn about buying insurance for your council and renewing and servicing your council’s insurance with Lockton Affinity.

Buying Insurance for Your Council

With so many insurance options in the marketplace, it can be overwhelming to pick an insurance company to work with and insurance policies to protect your council. It can be beneficial to think about how to select the insurance partner and policies that best fit your needs. Before buying coverage for your council, consider these tips:

Learn about the policies. While insurance may not be the most fun topic to study up on, having basic knowledge of coverage, limits, deductibles and rates can help you in the insurance buying process.

List your risks. Brainstorm scenarios that could happen at your council and how you would respond in such an event. If an event occurred, how would it affect your council? Could you pay for a lawsuit or settlement without insurance?

Check industry trends. Does your council host events where liquor is served? Does your council have special events planned throughout the year? Work with an insurance representative to evaluate your business’s exact risks.

Research rates, reputation and more. Shopping for insurance most often involves comparing rates and coverage levels from different companies.

  • Get quotes for comparable level of protection.
  • Make sure to research the company and its partners.
  • Look for a company with experience in your industry.
    Consider insurer benefits. Choosing an insurance company isn’t just about the rate and coverage they can offer.
  • Check if a partner has experience insuring fraternal organizations, so they’ll have an idea of the types of policies you need, various limit options that may be beneficial, how to assist with claims and more.
  • Pay attention to how easy it is to use their website, talk to a representative, get your questions answered and get a quote.
  • Look for additional benefits, such as risk management resources, best-in-class customer service and access to insurance expertise.
