The company\u2019s History\/Reputation: <\/strong>Adverts with juicy content could be very deceptive. When it comes to deciding what investor is good for you, it is important to see how long the company has been in business.<\/span> An established track record is something that you must go for when choosing an insurance company.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"3_Financial_stability\"><strong>3. Financial Stability: <\/strong>You don\u2019t want to hear that your insurance company can\u2019t pay your claim because of its poor financial results. So, try to ensure the insurance company you are about to choose does not have a <\/span><span id=\"3_Financial_stability\">difficult claim situation. <\/span><span id=\"3_Financial_stability\">Many insurance companies work with independent rating agencies that review many factors and the financial results in order to assign a letter grade or score.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"5_Customer_Service\"><strong>4. Customer Service: <\/strong>You should consider an insurance company based on the kind of attitude the insurers possess towards potential customers like yourself. Are they available to answer your queries whether on the phone or in person? Are they impatient in their approach or do they seem calm enough to make a sales pitch with a complete understanding of your financial needs? These are some of the questions you must ask yourself before taking that final step<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Suitability of Products: <\/strong>The type of products an insurance company offers is also worth taking note of. Most insurance companies offer general insurance products like property, auto, health, and General Liability Insurance policies but the type of insurance you and your business needs depends on what you want, the kind of business you do and the industry you operate in. Find out if the company has products that are peculiar to your business needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. The Power of Referrals: <\/strong>It is necessary that you take a look at the number of complaints or bad reviews a company may have. Although some of it may be fake and generated by competition, complaints of a similar nature against the same company should not be ignored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The insurance industry is one of the thriving industries in Nigeria.
