Understanding TIV (Total Insured Value)

1/18/2023

0 Comments

 
Total Insured Value (TIV) is an important concept in the world of insurance. TIV is a term used to describe the total amount of money that an insurer is required to pay out if a policyholder makes a claim. It's the upper limit of liability for an insurance company to cover for their policyholder.

TIV is often used when insuring large commercial or industrial properties, such as factories, office buildings, and warehouses. The TIV for a property is determined by taking into account the value of the building, as well as the cost of any equipment or inventory that is stored inside. It's important to note that TIV is different from the market value of the property, and it's often much higher than the market value.

Calculating TIV can be a complex process and typically involves a professional insurance assessor, who will visit the property and assess the value of the building and its contents. They will also take into account factors such as the age of the building, the quality of construction, and the potential risks of loss.

It is important for the policyholder to provide accurate information and to report any updates regarding the TIV, since a policy with a low TIV may not be adequate to cover a loss in the event of a disaster. It's also important to keep in mind that TIV is not always fixed, as the value of the property or equipment may change over time. In those cases, policyholders should schedule regular TIV reviews.

In the end, TIV is a crucial concept for any policyholder with valuable assets that need to be protected. It's an essential aspect of insurance coverage that provides peace of mind and security for businesses and property owners. An adequate TIV coverage can ensure that a policyholder is properly protected in the event of a loss, and that the insurer can pay for any necessary repairs or replacements.
​
It is important to keep in mind that this is general information and different policies may have different details and requirements regarding TIV. It's always a good idea to consult your insurance agent for more information about your specific policy and coverage.

Why Your Small Business Needs Commercial Insurance: A Beginner's Guide

1/16/2023

0 Comments

 
As a small business owner, you have a lot on your plate. From managing employees and finances to dealing with unexpected challenges, there's always something to keep you busy. But one area that shouldn't be overlooked is commercial insurance.
Simply put, commercial insurance is a type of insurance that protects businesses from a wide range of risks, from property damage and theft to liability and employee injuries. Without commercial insurance, a small business could be left exposed to significant financial loss in the event of a lawsuit or unexpected incident.
One of the biggest reasons small businesses need commercial insurance is to protect their assets. Property damage, for example, can cause serious financial strain, especially for small businesses that may not have the financial resources to cover repairs or replacement costs. Commercial property insurance covers damage to buildings and equipment from events like fire, storms, and vandalism.
Another important aspect of commercial insurance is liability coverage. No business is immune to the possibility of a lawsuit, whether it's from an injury on your property or a customer who claims your product caused them harm. Liability insurance protects your business in these situations, covering the costs of legal defense and any settlements or judgments.
Employee injuries are also a major concern for small businesses. Workers' compensation insurance is required by law in most states, and it covers the medical expenses and lost wages of employees who are injured on the job. Without it, small businesses would be held financially responsible for those expenses.
Overall, commercial insurance is a vital tool for small businesses, as it provides protection for the many risks that business owners face. Without commercial insurance, you could be putting your business, your employees, and yourself at risk of financial loss. It's important to work with a qualified insurance agent to determine the type and amount of coverage that your business needs.

What is a "Hard Market" in insurance and what does it mean for you?

1/11/2023

0 Comments

 
A hard market in insurance refers to a period of time when insurance companies are less willing to underwrite policies, often due to increased claims or losses. As a result, premiums tend to be higher, and coverage may be harder to obtain. During a hard market, insurance companies may also be stricter in their underwriting criteria and may limit the amount of coverage they are willing to provide. This situation is the opposite of a soft market, which is characterized by increased competition among insurance companies and lower premiums.

​Additional factors that are increasing rates for coastal properties are the fact that 6+ insurance companies writing coastal homes went bankrupt in 2022. This combined with other traditional factors, or a hard market leads to increased premiums and less carrier options for your home, auto, and business insurance.

Independent Agents like GSP Insurance Group and our clients are slightly less impacted by this as we work with over 50+ carriers to always find our clients the best options and value.
