Hello and welcome back to the 360 Money Matters podcast! Oftentimes, general insurance is overlooked and the priority is to get the cheapest possible rates and get the best deal for the price. However, when assessing a general insurance plan or strategy, the primary driver should always be the quality and conditions in the cover, with a secondary consideration placed on the cost of cover.
Joining us today to shed some more light on the world of general insurance is Brenton Oviss. Benton is from Howden Insurance Brokers and has worked with us and many of our clients in the past. Brenton discusses how each business and individual is different– and as such, each plan around general insurance should be personalized. Without a good insurance broker, we can find ourselves overpaying for cover, or risk not having the desired level of cover in the event of a claim.
So be sure to join in on the conversation as we talk about striking just the right balance between a quality plan and premiums!
