What We Do

If you want the best advice, service, and access to risk management solutions, work with a TechAssure member – the unique non-profit network for specialists throughout the world.

Commercial Property & Liability Insurance products are priced based on an underwriter’s assessment of the risks you face; their prior loss experience with companies in your industry; and the underwriter’s application of credits and debits which lower or raise your rates, respectively. How a broker presents your needs to an underwriter has a great impact on how your risks of loss are categorized and which credit or debit factors are applied. Make no mistake about it, your broker has a subtle but big impact on the price you pay.

Myth: Underwriters for insurance companies have special credits (which would lower your rates) based on the volume of business a broker does with that market.

Truth: The underwriter’s respect for the broker’s ability to represent the client; i.e., does the broker understand the client’s risks, have a plan for addressing them, and can the underwriter rely on the broker to be forthcoming about the good, the bad, and the ugly of the client’s loss exposures? Remember: Expertise, not premium volume, affects the price you pay.

  • Your TechAssure broker receives the best training available on the exposures to loss faced by today’s technology, life sciences, and media companies. You will spend less time educating your broker about what your company does, and more time discussing methods to reduce your cost of risk.
  • TechAssure members work closely with major insurance companies to customize policy forms to cover your risks, and evolve the underwriting process to better serve your needs.
  • TechAssure members can provide policies and pricing strategies not available from any other broker.
  • Placing insurance is just one step in a risk management program. The experience and expertise of your TechAssure member will identify your exposures to loss and customize methods to treat those exposures that go beyond insurance. TechAssure members share best practices and discuss on a weekly basis the problem-solving needs of clients.
  • Your TechAssure broker is part of an international network that can serve your company’s needs around the globe.

Don’t expect extraordinary results from a generalist broker – use a specialist from the TechAssure network to ensure the best possible risk management program and pricing.
