[aneettajohn]

To navigate the highly regulated and complex corporate landscape of Switzerland, simply buying off-the-shelf insurance isn’t enough. As expert insurance advisors, we help business owners, corporations, and private wealth holders make informed decisions on assessing and optimizing their total risk profile. The Swiss insurance market is different from all others in the world due to the high level of mandatory insurance requirements, cantonal rules, and market costs. It is therefore not unusual for insured parties to find themselves under-insured or over-insured. Expert insurance consulting services perform complete risk audits, simulate existing insurance programs, and reveal existing gaps in property, business interruption, administrative liability, and employee benefit coverages. Unlike other agents, the independent advisors do not follow a sales approach – they take an advisory approach, thus allowing the clients to align their insurance programs to their strategic goals.
Modern insurance consulting in Switzerland expands beyond just standard property and liability insurance since that modern-day insurance consulting is responsible for the management of new risks that appear as a result of the global environment and the ever-evolving technological world. With the increasing globalization of businesses in Switzerland and transitioning towards digital operations, it faces new threats such as information technology risks, international changes in regulation, breakdown in the supply chains, etc. The power and insider knowledge that the insurance consultants have on the market allow them to negotiate the terms of the insurance policy, to offer the companies special retention strategies and invention formation of the captive insurance systems. Moreover, in the case of serious losses or when disputing some claims, it is known that having a consulting company may speed up the entire process of compensation using the knowledge and background of both legal and technical aspects of such cases. Moreover, utilization of insurance consulting is important because it changes the process of risk management from passive to active strategy, which allows the companies from Switzerland to prosper.
