In today's challenging landscape, ministries often struggle to keep insurance costs manageable. At UMIP, we understand these difficulties and are here to help. We have compiled three of our top tips to make your renewal or buying process smoother and more efficient.
1. Start Early
Begin your insurance renewal or acquisition process well in advance. Giving yourself ample time allows you to gather all necessary documentation, compare options, and avoid last-minute stress. Starting early ensures that you are well-prepared and can make informed decisions without the pressure of impending deadlines.
2. Gather Vital Documentation
Having the right documents at hand is crucial. Ensure you have the following:
Copies of your current policies
3 to 5 years of loss history
Age of your building
Updates on the building – roof, wiring, electrical, plumbing
Age of roof
Type of roof
Descriptions of any losses over $10,000, including a brief explanation of measures taken to prevent similar incidents in the future
These documents provide a comprehensive picture of your ministry's insurance needs and help insurers offer the best coverage at the most competitive rates.
