An appraisal is the process of determining the value of an asset for commercial or financial purposes. Appraisals are commonly used in these three areas: -Small business insurance -Business valuation -Real estate transactions How do appraisals work? An appraisal is often conducted to facilitate business or personal real estate and insurance transactions. It typically consists of three elements: -A highly structured process for valuing an asset from multiple perspectives -A trained, certified assessor who is familiar with the asset and the market in which it will be purchased or sold -A body of professional methods and standards that produce an accurate valuation The appraisal process assesses all factors that affect an asset’s value, including property and asset value, market value, and potential future earnings How Do Appraisals Benefit Small Business Owners? In additional to helping you choose the right amount of insurance coverage, an appraisal can: -Ensure that your insurance company indemnifies you properly for your damaged or destroyed property. -Determine a suitable value for an asset you’re selling so you can decide on a sales price. -Establish an appropriate sum to offer for an asset you’re buying so you don’t overpay for it. What is a business valuation or appraisal? An appraisal in business is an estimate of the firm’s value that is used to facilitate its purchase or sale. You might also commission a specific property value appraisal when you’re looking to sell or buy an asset such as business real estate or equipment. Common business valuation methods -Asset-based valuation, which assesses the value of tangible equipment, fixtures, furniture, vehicles, and intangible assets such as goodwill. However, this method understates the value of future earnings potential. -Earnings-multiplier valuation, which predicts future earnings potential, allowing the buyer to calculate return on investment. Also known as a “going concern” valuation, this method is commonly used to value healthy, growing businesses. #BeNewinsurance #InsurTech #inclusiveinsurance #insurance #reinsurance #takaful

Disability Appeal A disability appeal in insurance is a process that allows a policyholder to challenge the denial of their disability insurance claim. If a policyholder's disability claim is denied, they will typically receive a denial letter from the insurance company. The denial letter will explain the reason for the denial and the policyholder's right to appeal.

Policyholder (Contract Holder) A policyholder is the person who purchases and owns an insurance policy. The policyholder is responsible for paying the premiums and is entitled to the benefits of the policy. The policyholder may also be the insured person, but this is not always the case. For example, a parent may purchase a life insurance policy for their child, or a business owner may purchase a health insurance policy for their employees. For life insurance it's a little bit different. You may be the policyholder, but someone else may be the insured party. In addition, you will need to name one or several beneficiaries of the policy. In life insurance, the policyholder owns and controls the policy but is not always the insured. A wife can purchase a term life insurance policy with her husband as the insured and name her adult son and herself as the beneficiaries. As policyholder, she controls the life insurance policy. If her husband dies during the coverage period, the wif

Offset An offset in insurance is a reduction in the amount of benefits that an insured person is entitled to receive because they are also receiving benefits from another source they receive. Offsets are most common in disability insurance and workers' compensation, but they can also be found in other types of insurance, such as life insurance and health insurance. Insurance companies are not prohibited from applying offsets this because if you were allowed to keep the full amount of all of the various disability benefits to which you might be entitled, it would be possible for you to earn more money on disability than you would by working. There are two main types of offsets: Income offsets: Income offsets reduce the amount of benefits that an insured person is entitled to receive by the amount of other income that they are receiving, such as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or workers' compensation. Expense offsets: Expense offsets reduce the amount of ben
