Commercial Insurance Update

Are Your Insurance Costs Too High?
Many commercial insurance experts are predicting lower rates for businesses across the United States. Commercial insurance buyers may see lower rates and wider choice in coverage terms at upcoming renewals as insurance pricing softness accelerates in most lines.
Commercial or business insurance rate reductions are due to a softening in the market, reduced catastrophic losses, and continued competition among the leading insurers.
Rate vs. Premium
Rate is the cost of insurance per exposure unit, such as revenue or payroll. The premium is based on a formula of rate times exposure. Your rate could go down, but if your revenues are up it could affect a flat premium.
