If you have had the same insurance policies in place for a long time, there is a good chance that your circumstances are not the same as when the policy was first taken out.
As part of the portfolio management approach we take with our insurance clients, we encourage regular review meetings to help make sure you continue to have the right level of protection and recommend changes where necessary to account for either new or emerging risks to your business.
It is good practice to not only review your policy each year, but more importantly, when there are changes in your regular circumstances.

By reviewing your current situation, Planned Cover Account Managers can help ensure you have the right types of cover required and the correct sums insured, so you have peace of mind that you are adequately protected.
Policy review process
A typical policy review (outside of any COVID-19 restrictions) will involve:
1. Setting up the meeting; we will set a meeting at a time and place convenient to you.
2. During the meeting; we can discuss any changes in your business and listen to any feedback you may have.
3. After the meeting; if there are any changes to your business, we can create an action plan and recommend adjustments to your policies to help ensure you are appropriately covered. We can then update your policies as required and provide you with certificates of currency to confirm your cover.
Obviously, during COVID-19 restrictions, you may choose to arrange a phone consultation or make other virtual meeting arrangements.
This information is provided to assist you in understanding some of the common considerations in reviewing your insurance policies.
