- What is business risk management?
- It is the process of identifying the ways a business could lose money, assessing how likely and costly each is, and choosing how to handle it: avoid it, reduce it, transfer it by contract or insurance, or retain it. Insurance is one part. Safety practices, contracts, records and financial planning are the others.
- Is risk management only for large companies?
- No. The process is the same at any size, and only the depth changes. A sole consultant's review might focus on contracts, data and professional liability in an hour. A manufacturer or contractor needs a wider look at premises, machinery, vehicles and subcontractors. Small businesses often gain the most because one uninsured loss hurts them more.
- Does risk management cost extra?
- Risk management is part of how we serve commercial clients, and we explain the scope for your business before we start. If a risk needs specialist work, such as a structural assessment, contract drafting or a formal safety audit, that is done by the relevant professional under their own engagement and fees.
- How does risk management lower insurance premiums?
- Insurers consider the risk management strategies a business has in place when they set premiums, and past claims are often their best predictor of future claims. Documented controls such as alarms, leak detection, driver programs and contract requirements improve the submission now, and fewer, smaller claims improve every renewal after that.
- What is the total cost of risk?
- Total cost of risk is everything risk costs a business: premiums, deductibles and other retained losses, uninsured costs such as management time, lost customers and disruption, and the cost of the controls themselves. Measuring it shows whether a higher deductible, a new control or a different policy actually saves money overall.
- What is the difference between a broker review and an insurer inspection?
- An insurer's loss-control inspection is part of underwriting and helps the insurer decide whether and how to insure you; its recommendations can affect your terms or renewal. A broker's risk review works for you, finding coverage gaps and practical controls, and helping you respond to any recommendations the insurer makes.
- What legal duties should a risk review consider?
- In Ontario, the Occupational Health and Safety Act requires employers to take every reasonable precaution to protect workers, the Occupiers' Liability Act requires reasonable care for visitors, and federal privacy law requires breach reporting and records. The Criminal Code also imposes a duty on anyone directing work to prevent bodily harm. Other provinces have similar laws.
- Should I choose a higher deductible?
- Sometimes. A higher deductible lowers the premium because you retain more of each loss. It makes sense when you can absorb several deductibles in a bad year without strain and your losses are mostly small and predictable. We compare the premium saving against your claims history and cash flow before recommending it.
- How often should a business review its risks?
- At least once a year, ideally before renewal, and whenever something material changes: new premises, staff, vehicles, products, provinces or major contracts. Many changes must also be reported to your insurer when they happen. A quick annual review catches most gaps before a claim does.
