» My services as an insurance broker for foreigners "expatriates"
   living in Mexico

An insurance broker acts as an intermediary between clients and insurance companies. Clients may be either individuals or commercial businesses and organizations. Brokers use their in-depth knowledge of risks and the insurance market to find and arrange suitable insurance policies. Insurance brokers, unlike tied agents, are independent and offer products from more than one insurer, to ensure that their clients get the best deal.

Insurance policies range from motor insurance, required by law to drive a vehicle in the UK, to public, employers' or product liability insurance, which pays compensation on the basis of the assessment of legal liability for damage, injury or harm.
 

 
  Tasks typically involve:
  • Gathering information from clients, assessing their insurance needs and risk profile;
  • Building and maintaining ongoing relationships with clients including scheduling and attending meetings and understanding the nature of clients' businesses or lives
  • Foreseeing clients' insurance needs, such as policy renewals;
  • Researching insurance companies and their various policies to find the most suitable insurance for clients at the best price;
  • Arranging specialized types of insurance cover in complex cases; this may involve preparing reports for insurance underwriters and surveyors and negotiating with insurers;
  • Advising clients on risk management, and helping to devise new ways to mitigate risks, for example, by adding security measures such as fencing, surveillance cameras or lighting to commercial properties to reduce the likelihood of break-ins;
  • Renewing or amending existing policies;
  • Advising clients whether and when they need to make a claim on their policies;
  • Marketing and acquiring new clients;
  • Developing relationships with underwriters, surveyors, photographers, structural engineers and other professionals;
  • Administrative tasks such as dealing with paperwork, correspondence, keeping detailed records;
  • Collecting insurance premiums and processing accounts.
