The best strategy for lowering your premium is to find carriers that specialize in the restaurant industry. These companies usually offer broad coverage and are competitive in pricing. As an independent agent, we search the market for you, finding the best possible combination of price, coverage, and service. Remember, not all insurance companies are created equal. The more experienced and specialized the agent is, the better the chance you have of finding the best premium and coverage.
Other ways to reduce your restaurant premiums:
- Combine all your insurance under a “package.”
- Don’t nickel-and-dime your insurance company. If you file claims for every little thing, your rates may increase. Insurance is meant to cover unexpected large losses.
- Consider your deductibles. By increasing your deductible, you may save money.
- One of the best forms of protection is routine maintenance. A well-maintained property is less likely to have mechanical failures or losses.
- Offer safety training to employees.
- Start a safety committee to help reduce work comp losses.
- Place all your insurance with one insurance company.
- Seek advice from a qualified independent agent like Partners Insurance Services.
- Investigate premium-reduction strategies such as inspections and security systems.
- At least once a year, review your coverage for duplications or unnecessary coverage.
