Make sure you’re not overpaying on your apartment building insurance and are properly protecting yourself with our simple tips:

• Maintain adequate lighting throughout premises. Saving money on electricity just to pay out on apartment building insurance claims is a short–sighted policy.
• Keep electrical wiring, stairways, carpeting and flooring in good repair. Make managers and/or employees responsible for reporting problems. Shabby premises usually end up correlating with a higher apartment building insurance quote.
• Keep good records of your apartment building's inventory, accounts receivable, and equipment purchases. Keep duplicate records off-site. When you have to use your apartment building insurance because of a loss, you must prove damaged property value. Don’t get forget and cheat yourself out of money.
• Raise your apartment building insurance deductibles to save money. Take some of the risk upon yourself. You know your financial tolerance and about how often you suffer losses.
  • Get an apartment building insurance quote with higher deductibles. The money saved can go into your “self-insurance account” enabling you to continue assuming more risk and pay a lower premium.
  • Based on the higher deductible apartment building insurance quote, how much you would have saved and earned if you had invested that money over the past 10 years?
• Develop a hiring expert so you get the best possible employees. Hiring great employees is better than trying to train mediocre ones. There is no substitute.
• Have a backup plan in case a disaster strikes. Prepare for the worst - and make sure your apartment building insurance covers it! Many catastrophic events are excluded on insurance. Ask your insurance agent about it.
• Work hard to maintain a spotless apartment building insurance image.
  • Know what risks you must cover and what risks you want to cover
  • Know what disasters will wipe you out and which you can endure.
  • List what would be a devastating loss, like loss of income, because of illness or accident, and what would be a tolerable loss, like damage to your car.
• Protect yourself against devastating losses.
• Stay in compliance with all Federal, State and local employment laws. An employee lawsuit can be a devastating loss, eating up time, money and morale.
• Laws governing employee benefit plans are complex. What are your fiduciary duties? As you act as a fiduciary, you can be personally sued. Therefore, your benefit plan decisions must be prudent and in the best interest of your employees. Do you know what your fiduciary duties are? Let us help.
