The hurdles business owners face when looking for business insurance
Most brokers and insurers are only operational during business hours, also known as the hours entrepreneurs and SMEs are most busy.
With complicated and drawn-out processes, it’s hard to imagine small business owners have the time to deal with all the moving pieces. Finding the right insurance deal that works for your budget is no easy feat.
Most brokers are highly hesitant and not interested in insuring small businesses because the time spent servicing them is not worth the premium that they receive.
