Why deal just with RKHRB and NewbridgeThis is why...
• Dealing directly us means one contact point that is “looking after you and your clients” and “looking after you and our clients interests regionally and globally.
• Placing a book of business rather than individual risks will attract cheaper rates
• You can offer this cover to all their clients as standard, resulting in a competitive edge
• If there is enough business to warrant a book of business then some could possible consider a profit commission payable after the year has run off clean
28
What next?
• You could provide us with a list of all your current accounts including information on values, locations, limits, occupations, deductibles, renewal dates and current premium spend (a confidentiality agreement can be agreed)
• Overiders /Profit commissions can be negotiated once Underwriters can see the size of the book and the territories and occupations involved
• Location information is key – risks with good location information can certainly command better premiums and terms
