How do I arrange contracts with insurance companies for my windscreen repair business?

Jul 18, 2007 by CASSIE T | Posted in Small Business

I am starting my own windscreen fettle business and wondered if anyone could tell me how I go about making arrangements to invoice insurance companies for the repairs on their customers' windscreens, without it affecting any no claims reward or having to pay an excess. I know other companies do this, I just need to find out how to contact the insurance companies and work out any arrangements with them for my presence.

This is knotty - until you have a 'rep' in the market, insurance companies will probably not want to deal direct with you (too great a risk (to them) of fraudulent invoices - uncommonly as windscreen repairs are a nil-excess item - I am sure you are aware that the £40 - £60 excess for windscreen repairs was imposed due to extensive numbers of drivers having their car repaired and then persuading the garage to issue an invoice for windscreen vamp. And, of course, this is why many insurers have limits on their policy if you don't go through Autoglass/ National Windscreens etc).

If I were setting up a winscreen fettle service, I would just try contacting insurance companies - contact details can be found at www.fsa.gov.uk/register or on their own web-sites and ask for the claims subdivision - hopefully someone there will be able to point you to the correct person to discuss your ideas. I suggest you prepare a folder about the company, what you do/ intend to do, your business plan and also have references and find out where to submit them.

What is the difference between Risk Participation agreement and an Insurance Contract?

Jan 25, 2007 by Azzah Al-Huneidi | Posted in Insurance

As part of their work operations, some Export Credit Agencies tend to use insurance contracts to provide cover for identified commercial & non-commercial risks kin to Letters of Credit issued by banks in developing countries.
Some confirming banks are accepting such documentation tomitigate the underlying hazard; however, other banks seem to insist on using Risk Particiaption Agreements instead, which are more or less subject to the same conditions.

There is a Circle of difference. An insurance contract is, well, an insurance policy! The company issuing the policy, theoretically, has money behind them to pay claims, and is put through to insurance and banking laws in their state. If they are admitted to do business in your state, then your state actually has a guarantee stake, in case they go bankrupt, to pay your claims.

A "risk participation" agreement, is just a band of people who don't have insurance, who agree to SHARE CLAIMS PAYMENTS. There is no guarantee that there will actually be any money at the time your requisition needs to get paid. Also, not only do you pay in your share, but if claims are abnormally high, you ALSO pay in again. And again, and again. They are NOT subject to governmental, banking, or insurance balance. It's highly speculative.
