Imagine this: you have a trusted team advisors (your wealth management team) managing your business’s financial, legal, and tax strategies, ensuring every move maximizes your wealth and protects your assets. Now, ask yourself—who’s managing your risk? For many successful business owners, insurance often falls through the cracks of strategic planning. Yet, it’s just as critical to the long-term success and financial stability of your business.
At Engineered Insurance Services (EIS), we don’t just sell policies—we provide a strategic approach to insurance that integrates seamlessly with your wealth management team.
1. Maximizing Your Total Cost of Risk (TCOR)
In wealth management, every dollar counts, and the same principle applies to your risk management. At EIS, we focus on maximizing your business’s Total Cost of Risk (TCOR)—the comprehensive cost of managing risk beyond just premiums. This includes deductibles, losses, and administrative costs.
For example, your business operates in a high-risk industry like construction or manufacturing. You could be overpaying for insurance if your coverage isn’t customized to your specific risk profile. EIS works to design a plan that not only covers your assets but actively reduces your exposure through risk mitigation strategies. This could mean incorporating loss control services, safety training, or exploring higher deductibles in exchange for lower premiums.
Case in point: One of our clients, a mid-sized manufacturing company, was paying high premiums year after year. The high premiums due to frequent claims. After partnering with EIS, we developed a risk reduction plan that included employee safety programs and proactive equipment maintenance. The result? Reduced claims, lower premiums, and a substantial reduction in their overall TCOR.
2. Coordinating Seamlessly with Your Financial Team
If your business is undergoing rapid growth, your financial advisors may recommend strategies like a cost segregation study from Engineered Tax Services to accelerate depreciation. But what happens to your insurance coverage when the value of your property changes? Or, you expand into new markets? This is where EIS steps in. We help adjust your coverage in real-time to match the evolving risks of your business. Ensuring that your insurance is always optimized.
Example: One client we worked with was expanding into a new market and acquiring additional real estate. We utilized the cost segregation study done by Engineered Tax Services to update their property and liability coverage. We helped in saving them from costly gaps in protection and keeping their overall wealth management strategy intact.
3. Protecting Against Emerging Risks
The business world is evolving, and so are the risks. Whether it’s cyber threats, environmental regulations, or changing legal landscapes, your insurance plan needs to be as agile as your business. At EIS, we stay ahead of emerging risks and ensure you have the coverage you need to protect your wealth.
For example, cybersecurity breaches can cost businesses millions in recovery costs, lawsuits, and lost customer trust. While your wealth management team may focus on protecting your assets through diversification or tax strategies, it’s essential to have an insurance team focused on protecting your assets from the operational side. EIS provides tailored cyber liability insurance and can recommend preemptive cybersecurity measures to reduce your risk.
Real-world scenario: A growing tech firm was referred to us by Engineered Tax Services for advice on insuring their digital assets. After assessing their existing policies, we recommended a more robust cyber liability plan that accounted for data breach expenses, network security failures, and business interruption from cyber attacks. When their systems were later compromised by ransomware, they were able to recover without significant financial damage, thanks to the customized protection we had in place.
