By doing so, brokers can greatly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the underwriting process, resulting in more favourable terms and conditions for the insured parties.

Photographs of Risks

Visual documentation plays a crucial role in assessing risks accurately. Hirst advises clients to provide clear and detailed photographs of the assets or risks they wish to insure. These visuals can greatly assist insurance providers in evaluating potential risks and determining appropriate coverage levels, resulting in more accurate premiums and improved risk management.

Establishing a Personal Connection After Sending an Email
