While you're busy building your startup and chasing your vision, one crucial element can easily get overlooked – insurance.🥲 However, neglecting insurance can be a costly mistake that damages your progress. Here are 5 common insurance pitfalls that many startups fall into, and how you can avoid them: 1️⃣ Thinking you don't need it: even a small data breach can cripple a young company. Cybersecurity and general liability insurance provide a safety net. 2️⃣ Going for the cheapest option: price isn't everything. Choose a policy with the right coverage, not just the lowest price tag. 3️⃣ Not reviewing your policy regularly: your needs change as you grow. Regularly review your coverage to ensure it keeps pace with your company. 4️⃣ Not understanding exclusions: knowing what your policy doesn't cover can prevent surprises down the road. 5️⃣ Not getting multiple quotes: don't settle for the first offer. Compare quotes from different insurers to find the best coverage at a competitive price. Don't let these mistakes trip up your startup! Let us help you craft a customized insurance plan that protects your company and fuels growth: https://lnkd.in/eFKn4xMB #startups #insurance #insurancecompany #businessinsurance #insurancesandiego #sandiego #insuranceinsights #insurancetips #insuranceforstartups

Avoid common mistakes and get the best insurance for your startup: As a startup founder, you need to buy insurance smartly to protect your business from risks and losses. Here are some tips to help you get the best insurance for your startup: Do your research: Compare different policies and look for reviews and ratings from other customers. Understand your startup’s needs and risks, and look at the coverage they offer, the premiums they charge, and the terms and conditions of their policies. Buy enough coverage: Avoid the temptation to save money by purchasing a lower sum insured than necessary. Insufficient coverage can lead to significant financial and legal issues if an unexpected event occurs, defeating the purpose of insurance. As your startup grows and evolves, make sure to update your coverage accordingly. Buy the right coverage: Don’t buy generic or standard policies that don’t match your startup’s unique needs and challenges. Buy tailored policies for your startup or find brokers who provide bespoke solutions. Read the fine print: Don’t sign up for a policy without reading the terms and conditions carefully. Look for the coverage limits, deductibles, exclusions, and clauses that may affect your claim or premium. Ask questions if you don’t understand something. Keep a copy of your policy and receipts for future reference. File claims promptly: Don’t delay or avoid filing claims, not even because you don’t know how to do it, or because you fear that it will increase your premiums or damage your reputation. File claims promptly, provide the necessary information, and keep track of your claims status. Insurance is not an expense, but an investment for your startup’s future.

Last week, I had the privilege of connecting with a visionary entrepreneur who was gearing up to launch their new business. They reached out for General and Professional Liability quotes. However, the journey took an unexpected turn as they navigated the insurance landscape. Approaching multiple brokers led to frustrating delays and market blocks. In the intricate world of insurance, not only is it a challenge for entrepreneurs, but insurance carriers also face their own struggles. They receive inquiries from numerous brokers, often for minimal premiums. This not only cools down the momentum but becomes a source of frustration for carriers, brokers and the insured. Here's the key takeaway: When embarking on your startup journey, reach out to a trusted broker who can work on your behalf. Having a reliable advocate ensures that you incur the least expenses when launching your business, especially in sensitive sectors like healthcare. _________ About us: Gemrock is an Insurance/Risk Advisers Agency that specializes in Workers Comp, Risk & Claims management. #gemrock #insurance #riskmanagement #workerscompensation #healthcare #homecare #professionalliability #claimshandling #businesssuccess

💡 The irony of insurance: it’s meant to help you take risks, but now it’s the very thing holding you back. 💼💸 One of the biggest considerations I hear from anyone on the edge of leaving their job or diving into entrepreneurship isn’t how you’ll manage the business—it’s how you’ll manage insurance. To be honest, it’s not cheap. Medical, dental, home, car, pet, life—it all adds up quickly. And when it’s time to make a claim, the complexity of what’s covered (or not) becomes a whole new headache. I’m not an expert on insurance, but I am a consumer, and honestly, I’m desperate for a solution. If someone out there is working on a magic wand to fix this? ✨ Sign me up. It’s ironic, isn’t it? The whole point of insurance is to provide security, so you feel safe enough to take risks, to innovate, to step outside the comfort zone. But nowadays, it feels like insurance is actually what’s making people more risk-averse. We need a solution that encourages bold decisions, not one that holds us back. #entrepreneurship #insurance #risk #innovation

Exciting insights from the latest episode of "Innovate and Overcome" featuring Kyle Fuller the owner of Factum Financial! Kyle shares his journey into the insurance industry and how he discovered the power of whole life insurance as an effective financial tool for growth and security. His story is a testament to the importance of ongoing learning and innovation in achieving success. Here are three key takeaways from our conversation: 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝘂𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: Kyle emphasizes the importance of thoroughly understanding the products you invest in. His initial skepticism about permanent life insurance led him to research deeply, which paved the way for his successful integration into his business strategy. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: A chance encounter with an orthodontist who recommended essential reading materials allowed Kyle to pivot effectively. This underscores the value of seeking new knowledge and perspectives to make informed decisions. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Transitioning from indexed universal life to whole life insurance was a game-changer for Kyle. Embracing innovations that align with personal and professional goals can lead to sustained growth and financial security.
