How To Protect Your Texas Business From Fraud

 
Picture
A Business Insurance Update
Businesses Have many different risks to manage including; cyber risk, employment issues, fire and even insider fraud.  Fraud experts have found that the average fraud loss averages $50,000, (The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners).   Your commercial insurance program should include employee dishonesty or fidelity, including losses due to employee dishonesty, credit card forgery, computer fraud and theft, and disappearance and destruction of property. Fidelity policies will cover a business for losses caused by an employee’s dishonest or fraudulent acts. These can provide businesses with the best possibility of recovery.

There Are Ways To Help Reduce Your Risk In This Area
  1. Complete background checks on all new employees
  2. Create internal policies and procedures that require checks and balances
  3. Have a third person approve all purchases or checks over a certain amount
  4. Have an outside accounting firm review your records annually
  5. Require all employees to take their scheduled vacations
  6. Have separation of services between check writing, approval and deposits
Employee fraud is a greater risk than most businesses think. Have us complete a free review of your business insurance program to make sure you have the best possible combination of coverage price and service.

How Will Your Texas Business Respond?

A Business Insurance Update
If you think about it, your business faces risks every day.  When you open your doors, you have the risk of having sick or injured employees, customer complainants, and vendors who fail to deliver on their promises.  The world has changed in the past few years and it is important for business owners to make sure their business insurance keeps up.

Recently a large insurer released their annual business risk index. This index identified the top concerns of over 1,000 business owners.  Nearly half of survey respondents believe that the business world is growing riskier, yet just 24 percent said that risk management was a strategic priority for them.

According to the survey, the top seven worries of today's business owners across all industries are:
  • Medical cost inflation
  • Increasing employee benefits costs
  • Legal liability
  • Broad economic uncertainties
  • Tech and data/cyber risks
  • Complying with laws
  • Attracting and retaining talent

Can You Believe What Your Texas Homeowners Insurance Can Cover?

 
Picture
Homeowner’s Insurance Update
How many of you have actually read your homeowner’s insurance policy? We guess not too many. We do recommend that you read your policy to help you understand what coverage you have. Most homeowners are familiar with the basic coverage found their homeowner’s insurance policy; including coverage for the home itself, personal property and liability associated with owning a home.

Are There Other Coverages?
There is often other coverage found in your homeowner’s insurance policy that you may not know you have. Remember, each policy is different, so these coverage examples are general in nature.  This “hidden” coverage may have specific limits and terms of which you need to be aware, but here are some examples of coverage found in most homeowner’s insurance policies.
​
  • Liability coverage away from your home. You have coverage if you cause injury to a third party away from your premises.
  • Damage to your neighbor’s property. If you are at a party and cause damage to your neighbor’s property, chances are it would be covered.
  • Legal expenses. Should you be sued for an accident that occurred in your home, chances are legal costs would be covered under your homeowner’s insurance policy.
  • Additional living expenses. Your policy can pay the additional costs of living away from home if you cannot live there due to damage from an insured loss. It covers hotel bills, restaurant meals and other costs, over and above your usual living expenses, incurred while your home is being rebuilt.
  • Money. Many homeowners’ policies provide a small amount of coverage for stolen money.
  • Property of your college student. If your dependent child is a full-time college student living on campus, their property is covered by your homeowner’s insurance policy
It is important to note that not all homeowner’s policies are created equal, and what one company offers may not be the same as another company. Also keep in mind, if you bought your policy online, who really knows what coverage you have?

As our name implies, we strive to make your insurance experience positive. We understand you have many options when it comes to getting personal insurance, so we are going to strive to give you first class customer service you deserve.

Strive Insurance Group, Inc. is a full-service independent insurance agency that has been serving the insurance needs of the Dallas area since 1984 (formerly Gordon Lund Insurance).
